I assume you have some specific device(s) in mind here; can we mention
any examples so this is more than just theoretically useful?

platform_pci_set_power_state() is currently only implemented for MID
and ACPI, but we're starting to see DT systems with power control for
devices, so I assume it may someday be extended to support them.

Checking pci_pr3_present() seems wrong to me because it assumes ACPI.  

On ACPI systems, it seems like pci_set_power_state(PCI_D3cold) should
return an error if the necessary ACPI methods are not present, and we
wouldn't need this check.  Is that not the case?

Or is this _PR3 check here just to support the "probe"?  I don't know
if there's a generic interface to tell us whether we can control the
power to a device.
