What does this have to do with the patch? I don't see any NVMe or
WLAN patches here.

What's the connection with L1.x? Links enter L1.x based on activity
and timing. That doesn't seem like a reliable indicator to turn PHYs
off and disable clocks.

Why is "is_suspended" important for the commit log? It looks like
just a standard implementation detail.

Add blank lines between paragraphs. Or rewrap into a single paragraph.
