At least I am not aware of such API where we can tell genpd not to turn 
off gdsc
at runtime if we are keeping the device in D3cold state.
But anyway the PCIe gdsc supports Retention, in that case adding this 
flag here makes
more sense as it represents HW.
sm8450,sm8650 also had similar problem which are fixed by mani[1].

In the suspend patches, we are keeping link in D3cold, so turning off 
gdsc will not have any effect.
But if some reason we skipped D3cold like in S2idle case then gdsc 
should not be off, in that case
in resume PCIe link will be broken.
