You've found a bug somewhere.

We _should_ be saving things, the legacy code does something like this:

if (drv && drv->suspend) {
pci_dev->state_saved = false;

i = drv->suspend(pci_dev, state);
suspend_report_result(drv->suspend, i);
if (i)
return i;

if (pci_dev->state_saved)
goto Fixup;

if (WARN_ON_ONCE(pci_dev->current_state != PCI_D0))
goto Fixup;
}

pci_save_state(pci_dev);

ie if your ->suspend function doesn't use pci_save_state() itself (which
sets that "state_saved" flag to true), then the generic code will do it
for you.

Also, on the resume path, we actually have

if (pci_dev->state_saved)
pci_restore_standard_config(pci_dev);

so I wonder how the heck you got that blast of all zeroes - because we
clearly shouldn't be trying to restore any unsaved state!

So if you can figure out how it does all that...
