> With legacy PM, drivers themselves were responsible for managing the

> 
> After upgrading to the generic structure, PCI core will take care of required
> tasks and drivers should do only device-specific operations.
> 
> The driver was invoking PCI helper functions like pci_save/restore_state(),
> and pci_enable/disable_device(), which is not recommended.
> 
> Compile-tested only.
