Will do

Can you elaborate on save/restore enhancement? Assuming that the first
combined patch will have save/restore support as suggested. Are you
talking about the ST entries save/restore as the enhancements (see
below), because the second combined patch deals with ST?

        st_entry = (u16 *)cap;
        offset = PCI_TPH_BASE_SIZEOF;
	num_entries = get_st_table_size(pdev);
        for (i = 0; i < num_entries; i++) {
                pci_write_config_word(pdev, pdev->tph_cap + offset,
 	                              *st_entry++);
                offset += sizeof(u16);
	}
