Subject: [Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH v1 5/5] e100: use generic power management

With legacy PM hooks, it was the responsibility of a driver to manage PCI
states and also the device's power state. The generic approach is to let
PCI core handle the work.

e100_suspend() calls __e100_shutdown() to perform intermediate tasks.
__e100_shutdown() calls pci_save_state() which is not recommended.

e100_suspend() also calls __e100_power_off() which is calling PCI helper
functions, pci_prepare_to_sleep(), pci_set_power_state(), along with
pci_wake_from_d3(...,false). Hence, the functin call is removed and wol is
disabled as earlier using device_wakeup_disable().

Compile-tested only.

I do have several e100 based adapters still working and a few old systems with plain old PCI that still function, however all of these older systems have broken power management.  Regardless of if I use the kernel before or after this patch is applied, or even if the e100 driver is loaded or not I can't get a reliable suspend / resume cycle to work on them.

I did run some basic regression with this patch against the remaining pro100 cards I could scrounge up and aside from broken power management (again with or without patch) the system seems good, so (hesitantly) from a regression perspective I will go ahead and say...
