platform_pci_bridge_d3() acts as a "whitelist check":  If it returns true,
the port is allowed to go to D3hot/D3cold.  If it returns false, the
subsequent checks in pci_bridge_d3_possible() are free to decide the
port's fate as far as D3hot/D3cold allowance is concerned.

Thus, I don't think you need to worry about "honoring" a "false" return
value of platform_pci_bridge_d3().  (If I understand your commit message
correctly.)

And so I'm wondering whether:

+		if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_X86) && bridge->is_pciehp)
 			return false;

would be more appropriate and more consistent with the subsequent check in
pci_bridge_d3_possible() that also uses IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_X86).  Basically
this would mean that we only special-case legacy x86 hardware, but assume
that anything else supports D3hot/D3cold for native hotplug bridges just
fine.  In particular, arm64 systems using ACPI.
