The "pcie_ports=compat" kernel parameter sets pcie_ports_disabled, which is
intended to disable the PCIe port driver. But even when it was disabled,
we registered pcie_portdriver so we could work around a BIOS PME issue (see
fe31e69740ed ("PCI/PCIe: Clear Root PME Status bits early during system
resume")).
Registering the driver meant that the pcie_portdrv_probe() path called
pci_enable_device(), pci_save_state(), pm_runtime_set_autosuspend_delay(),
pm_runtime_use_autosuspend(), etc., even when the driver was disabled.
We've since moved the BIOS PME workaround from the port driver to the core,
so stop registering the PCIe port driver in compat mode.
This means "pcie_ports=compat" will now be basically the same as turning
off CONFIG_PCIEPORTBUS completely.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
