We're really not getting anywhere.  The commit log needs to explain
how this is related to PCI.  Apparently the issue is related to NVMe
APST and NVMe device state being lost.  AFAICT, APST has to do with
power states of the NVMe controller itself.  Those states are internal
to NVMe and are not directly visible to the Root Port.

Maybe there's a connection with ASPM or the Link state, or putting the
device in D3cold, or ...?  

Ideally it would describe something about this AMD PCIe controller
that doesn't work according to spec.

It should say something about why this flag needs to apply to *all*
devices below this controller, even though we currently only use it
for NVMe.

The changelog above bears little resemblance to reality.  I dug up all
the previous postings, hoping there was a hint about why this is
relevant to PCI, but I didn't find anything.  For the archives, here
are the versions I found and notes about what really changed:

  v1 2021-04-14  2:18 https://lore.kernel.org/r/1618366694-14092-1-git-send-email-Prike.Liang@amd.com/

  v2 2021-04-14  6:19 https://lore.kernel.org/r/1618381200-14856-1-git-send-email-Prike.Liang@amd.com/
    (Not tagged as v2 in the posting.)
    Check result of pci_get_domain_bus_and_slot() for NULL.

  v3 2021-04-14  8:18 https://lore.kernel.org/r/1618388281-15629-1-git-send-email-Prike.Liang@amd.com/
    (Not tagged as v3 in the posting.)
    Drop reference acquired by pci_get_domain_bus_and_slot().
    Return "true" (not NVME_QUIRK_SIMPLE_SUSPEND) from bool
    nvme_acpi_storage_d3().

  v4 2021-04-15  3:52 https://lore.kernel.org/r/1618458725-17164-1-git-send-email-Prike.Liang@amd.com/
    Reorder Signed-off-by tags.
    No code change at all.

  v5 2021-04-16  6:54 https://lore.kernel.org/r/1618556075-24589-1-git-send-email-Prike.Liang@amd.com/
    Move flag from pci_dev_flags to pci_bus_flags.
    Rename flag to PCI_BUS_FLAGS_DISABLE_ON_S2I.
    Inherit PCI_BUS_FLAGS_DISABLE_ON_S2I in all child buses of AMD
    0x1630.
    Check dev->bus->bus_flags instead of using
    pci_get_domain_bus_and_slot().
