Completely. The port should enter D3 if it cannot wake up and Linux does
not even enable runtime PM for such ports unless they declare
"HotPlugSupportInD3" in their ACPI description:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/pci/dsd-for-pcie-root-ports#identifying-pcie-root-ports-supporting-hot-plug-in-d3

So that property should not be there if they cannot wake up.

Hmm, so you see the actual hotplug but the tunneled PCIe link may not be
detected? Does the PCIe "Card Present" (or Data Link Layer Active)
status change at all or is it always 0?
