Hi Francesco:
This regulator disable was a part of imx6_pcie_assert_core_reset() before,
 just had been moved out of imx6_pcie_assert_core_reset() in this refine
 commit.

To my understands, the VPCIE is the abstract of the DIESABLE# signal.
Refer to the Chapter 3.1.12.3 W_DISABLE# Signal of PCI Express M.2 SPEC.
These signals are used to disable the Adapter's radio operation to meet public
Safety regulations or when otherwise desired.
It's reasonable to assert/de-assert W_DISABLE# signal during suspend/resume.

The W_DISABLE# Signal is used to control the radios on the Adapters.
I think you can do that, if the radios are always on in your system.
