Thanks for the link. For the AMD USB use case I don't have a strong opinion,
what's considered the better option may be a question of personal taste.
For rtw88 however I'd still consider it over-engineering to replace a simple
call to pci_set_power_state() with a PCI quirk.
I may be biased here because I find it sometimes bothering if I want to
look up how a device is handled and in addition to checking the respective
driver I also have to grep through quirks.c whether there's any special
handling.
