Enabling the RTPM Kconfig option can be fairly risky.
Runtime PM must be validated against a specific platform
before it can be safely enabled. Hence, it makes no sense
for distros and other big OS vendors to enable it since
they ship code to various systems and unknown platform.
Make sure that this is hinted properly by making the
IWLWIFI_PCIE_RTPM Kconfig option depend on EXPERT.

Say Y here to enable runtime power management for PCIe
devices. If enabled, the device will go into low power mode
when idle for a short period of time, allowing for improved
- power saving during runtime.

If unsure, say N.
