Ok so this doesn't make sense to me at this stage... I see two
possibilities:

 1- You haven't properly done the test disabling the early resume hack
(ie, you may have done it with also CPU_FREQ disabled for example) and
got a false negative there. The platform code calls into the early
resume stuff before the PCI core gets a chance to restore things so that
would be an explanation. I'll send a patch fixing that.

or

 2- For some reason, the core call to pci_raw_set_power_state() from
pci_restore_standard_config() is returning an error. That would cause
the later not to restore the rest of the config.

So what I suggest is that while keeping your added pci_restore_state()
in there, you also add some printk's in pci_restore_standard_config() to
see anything weird happens in there or if it appears to properly call
pci_restore_state(). It would be useful for us to know.

Cheers,
Ben.
