[PATCH v8] pci: prevent putting nvidia GPUs into lower device states on certain intel bridges

[PATCH v8] pci: prevent putting nvidia GPUs into lower device states on certain intel bridges

[Karol Herbst]

Fixes the infamous 'runtime PM' bug many users are facing on Laptops with
Nvidia Pascal GPUs by skipping said PCI power state changes on the GPU.

Depending on the used kernel there might be messages like those in demsg:

"nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Refused to change power state, currently in D3"
"nouveau 0000:01:00.0: can't change power state from D3cold to D0 (config
space inaccessible)"
followed by backtraces of kernel crashes or timeouts within nouveau.

It's still unkown why this issue exists, but this is a reliable workaround
and solves a very annoying issue for user having to choose between a
crashing kernel or higher power consumption of their Laptops.

v2: convert to pci_dev quirk
    put a proper technical explanation of the issue as a in-code comment
v3: disable it only for certain combinations of intel and nvidia hardware
v4: simplify quirk by setting flag on the GPU itself
v5: restructure quirk to make it easier to add new IDs
    fix whitespace issues
    fix potential NULL pointer access
    update the quirk documentation
v6: move quirk into nouveau
v7: fix typos and commit message
v8: reset the pm_cap field to get rid of changes in pci core (thanks to
    Bjorn for this idea)

[Karol Herbst]

just noticed that the patch title should be changed..

drm/nouveau: prevent putting nvidia GPUs into lower device states on
certain intel bridges

or

drm/nouveau: workaround runpm fail by disabling PCI power management
on certain intel bridges
