Mingchuang: Can you please send a revised version of this patch with
enhanced log as Bjorn suggested.

If you'd like, you can add that this problem was also noticed when
PCIe devices (thunderbolt docks) were hot removed from chromebooks,
and then hot-plugged back again. Once hotplugged back, the newer Intel
chromebooks fail to go into S0ix low power state because of this LTR
issue, and this patch fixes that.

Bjorn: this was also proposed earlier (but the patch was never merged) here:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-pci/patch/20210114134724.79511-1-mika.westerberg@linux.intel.com/
(It says "superceded", but I couldn't find the patch that superceded
Mika's patch. Perhaps it is *this* patch?)

Yes, this is expected, because an LTR message from a downstream device
shall be treated as unsupported request if LTR is disabled at the
rootport.

Given that LTR applies to only PCI Express devices, and 2 of such
devices cannot be simultaneously hot-added under the same parent, I
think it is highly unlikely to hit.
I agree that it is a problem in general though. But It doesn't look
like we are not any close to a merging the other patch series Bjorn
pointed out (https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/20201218174011.340514-2-s.miroshnichenko@yadro.com/).

So perhaps we could merge this patch, and while this patch may not be
ideal, it helps in fixing the current set of issues seen with hotplug
of thunderbolt devices (which are very noticable on Intel chromebooks
atleast since it prevents them from going into S0ix)?

Thanks,

Rajat
