[PATCH v2] PCI: dwc: Proceed with system suspend even if the endpoint doesn't respond with PME_TO_Ack message

From: Manivannan Sadhasivam

Date: Tue Feb 17 2026 - 06:33:00 EST


PCIe spec r7.0, sec 5.3.3.2.1, recommends proceeding with L2/L3 sequence
even if one or devices do not respond with PME_TO_Ack message after 10ms
timeout.

So just print a warning if the timeout happens and proceed with the system
suspend.
