Would this patch:

    https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1021317/

break runtime D3cold for the discrete GPU on Optimus laptops such as
your Clevo P651RA?  Specifically, is the Root Port above the GPU
marked "(Slot+)" in lspci -vv?  (There doesn't seem to be raw lspci
output in https://github.com/Lekensteyn/acpi-stuff)

Thanks,
