Humm, drivers/acpi/acpi_lpss.c alread used it in acpi_lpss_resume_early(), so e1000e is not the only
one that wants to leverage this interface : )

I did not quite get what your meaning is.
First, it was a typo, please check v2 patch set, it is:
	if (dev_pm_skip_suspend() && !device_may_wakeup(dev))
if the NIC is runtime suspended, it means that, device_may_wakeup() return
true, the code will continue to execute. In summary, if the NIC is a wake up
device, we don't fall into the optimization.

There is sysfs for user to disable runtime suspend. If there is an issue on that platform and
if we don't want to break the user space(because the blacklist is already there), I think we
should only disable the runtime suspend on that platform, but not blocking other platforms IMO.
