According to the documentation:

  vpcie-supply:
    description: Should specify the regulator in charge of PCIe port power.
      The regulator will be enabled when initializing the PCIe host and
      disabled either as part of the init process or when shutting down
      the host (optional required).

Is this really what we want to do (remove power in suspend, enable
it on resume)? On our boards this powers a PCIe device connected to the host
port, that sound fair according to the binding documentation for it.
Am I wrong?

We do have issues with PCIe not working anymore after suspend/resume,
wondering (I did not have time to properly dig into it) if this is the
root cause.
