Hello, Pavel.

1. Don't restore power state and re-enable PCI device on resume from freeze just as we don't do the opposite when freezing.

#2 would be simpler but I'm a bit worried about it. There might be controllers which choke after such sequence (save state, disable, power down, no actual power removal, power on, restore state, re-enable).

I'd just go for #2.

I think I've been seeing too many weird ATA controller issues to be bold about this. I'll chicken out and go for #1. :-)

#1 can be easily done by taking a look at the current device power state (gendev->power.power_state). The problem is that no one in suspend/resume path seems to be setting that variable except for runtime

No, that variable is probably going to go away. If you want to
remember that you are resuming from freeze, just store that info in
private data structure.

I see.  Thanks.
