Re: [PATCH v4] pci: prevent putting nvidia GPUs into lower device states on certain intel bridges

[Karol Herbst <kherbst@redhat.com>]

anybody any other ideas? It seems that both patches don't really fix
the issue and I have no idea left on my side to try out. The only
thing left I could do to further investigate would be to reverse
engineer the Nvidia driver as they support runpm on Turing+ GPUs now,
but I've heard users having similar issues to the one Lyude told us
about... and I couldn't verify that the patches help there either in a
reliable way.
