Right.

That is a fair point, but if you look at pci_pm_runtime_suspend(), it
doesn't actually save anything for devices without drivers, so we'd
just restore the original initial state for them every time.

If we are to restore the entire state on runtime resume,
pci_pm_runtime_suspend() should be changed to call pci_save_state()
before returning 0 in the !dev->driver case AFAICS.

Me neither.

So if pci_pm_runtime_suspend() is modified to call pci_save_state()
before returning 0 in the !dev->driver case, we can just move the
pci_restore_standard_config() invocation in pci_pm_runtime_resume() up
to the very top and check dev->driver later.
