This sounds like it should be two separate patches (a changelog that says
"It also ..." is a good clue).

Maybe even three patches -- the additions in tegra_pcie_power_off() look
like they are separable from the dev_pm_ops addition, because
tegra_pcie_power_off() is already present and used even before you add
dev_pm_ops.

Generally, my advice is that if you *can* separate it, you should do so.
It's very easy to squash things back together, and separating things makes
errors more obvious and bisection more useful.

"check_ports" is a not really a very good function name because it doesn't
give any clues about what we're checking or what return value to expect.
