: It's a bug.
: 
: On machine resume(pci_resume), pci_cfg_restore() is called causing D3 -> D0 for
: all devices(including not attached ones).
: Unloading module/detaching device doesn't call pci_cfg_save.

: Should device_detach routine be used or new one like
: pci_driver_removed() implemented?

No.  device_detach shouldn't be used for this.  This should happen all
in the PCI bus code when do_power_nodriver is > 0.
