Patch 2/2 only uses PCI_DEV_FLAGS_AMD_NVME_SIMPLE_SUSPEND in the nvme driver, so AFAICT there is no reason for the PCI core to keep track of the flag for you.
I see below that Christoph suggests it needs to be in the PCI core, but the reason needs to be explained in the commit log.
As far as I can tell this has nothing to do with NVMe except for the fact that right now it mostly hits NVMe as the nvme drivers is one of the few drivers not always doing a full device shutdown when the system goes into the S3 power state. But various x86 platforms now randomly power done the link in that case.
Right, and the v5 of this series uses a generic name for the PCI quirk without mentioning "NVME".
