OK, I got this one:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53811

Martin has reported a lot of problems lately, and I don't know which
are related to runtime PM for PCIe ports. I was hoping for a couple
URLs to put in the changelog so that when somebody gets the itch to
make this work, they have some useful info to start from. If you
point me at a specific message, I'll dig up an archive URL for it.

Otherwise, I'm afraid we'll just oscillate between "enable PM, find
bug, disable PM, enable PM, find same bug, disable PM, etc..."
