Can you use the existing PCI_DEV_FLAGS_NO_D3 flag for this instead of
adding a new flag?

I would put the parent_broken_child_pm() logic here, if possible,
e.g., something like:

struct pci_dev *bridge = pci_upstream_bridge(dev);

if (bridge &&
bridge->vendor == PCI_VENDOR_ID_INTEL && bridge->device == 0x1901)
dev->dev_flags |= PCI_DEV_FLAGS_NO_D3;
