This won't work because you're falling through to nvme_dev_disable after
setting the power, so the resume side would certainly fail.

This is what you'd want:

       if (!pm_suspend_via_firmware()) {
               pci_save_state(pdev);
               return nvme_set_power(&ndev->ctrl, ndev->ctrl.npss);
       }

Yes, saving the state during suspend will prevent pci pm from assuming
control over this device's power. It's a bit non-intuitive as Christoph
mentioned, so we'll need to make that clear in the comments. For
reference, here's the relevant part in pci-driver.c:

---
static int pci_pm_suspend_noirq(struct device *dev)
{
...

	if (!pci_dev->state_saved) {
		pci_save_state(pci_dev);
		if (pci_power_manageable(pci_dev))
			pci_prepare_to_sleep(pci_dev);
	}
...
}
--

So by saving the state in our suspend callback, pci will skip
pci_prepare_to_sleep(), which is what's setting your device most likely
to a D3hot, undermining our nvme power state setting.
