This seems like a dis-improvement. Why are we reading a config byte for
something we already have in the pci_dev? Why are we now checking
against 0x01 instead of a symbolic constant? Why are we no longer
checking that this is PCI_BASE_CLASS_STORAGE?

Nothing in the changelog entry suggests why we now need FIXUP_RESUME
entries when we didn't before.
