PCI: Add sysfs attribute for device power state
[ Upstream commit 80a129afb75cba8434fc5071bd6919172442315c ] While PCI power states D0-D3hot can be queried from user-space via lspci, D3cold cannot. lspci cannot provide an accurate value when the device is in D3cold as it has to restore the device to D0 before it can access its power state via the configuration space, leading to it reporting D0 or another on-state. Thus lspci cannot be used to diagnose power consumption issues for devices that can enter D3cold or to ensure that devices properly enter D3cold at all. Add a new sysfs device attribute for the PCI power state, showing the current power state as seen by the kernel.
