Agreed. Actually, as their presence only causes PCI core to call
pci_legacy_suspend/resume() for them, I thought that after removing the binding
from "struct pci_driver", this driver qualifies to be grouped under genric
framework, so used "use generic power management" for the heading.

I should have written "remove legacy bindning".

But David has applied the patch, should I send a v2 or fix to update message?
