Nope, we do not have anything different for these machines. Asking HW
guys never worked for me :-/

I think the easiest is just doing what we did for PHB4 and ignoring
these D3 requests on garrisons.

No, directly connected to the root on both:

garrison:

0000:00:00.0 PCI bridge: IBM Device 03dc (rev ff)
0000:01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Mellanox Technologies MT27700 Family
[ConnectX-4] (rev ff)
0000:01:00.1 Ethernet controller: Mellanox Technologies MT27700 Family
[ConnectX-4] (rev ff)

firestone (phb #0 is taken by nvidia gpu):

0001:00:00.0 PCI bridge: IBM POWER8 Host Bridge (PHB3)
0001:01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Mellanox Technologies MT27700 Family
[ConnectX-4]
0001:01:00.1 Ethernet controller: Mellanox Technologies MT27700 Family
[ConnectX-4]
