VFs without native PCIe Power Management (PM) capabilities inherit their
PF's power state as per PCIe specifications(§5.10.1 PCIe Base Spec 7.0).
Enabling Runtime Power Management (RPM) for these VFs trigger unnecessary
driver suspend/resume operations that ultimately perform no PCI-level power
transition.
Since VFs without PM capabilities cannot independently enter low-power
states, the existing RPM workflow becomes redundant:
1. Driver executes full suspend/resume sequence
2. PCI PM transition step becomes no-op
3. VF power state remains tied to PF's status
Disabling RPM for VFs eliminates this redundant processing while
maintaining proper power management through PF dependency. This
optimization ensures VFs follow their PF's power state without superfluous
runtime handling.
