At this topic, it's very interesting to look at

drivers/pci/controller/dwc/pcie-tegra194.c


static int tegra_pcie_dw_suspend_noirq(struct device *dev)
{
         struct tegra_pcie_dw *pcie = dev_get_drvdata(dev);

         if (!pcie->link_state)
                 return 0;

         tegra_pcie_downstream_dev_to_D0(pcie);
         tegra_pcie_dw_pme_turnoff(pcie);
         tegra_pcie_unconfig_controller(pcie);

         return 0;
}

It brings back all the downstream components to D0, as I assumed it was 
L0 indeed, before sending PME aiming to enter L2.
