I will check this.

Issue wouldn't be observed when the link-partner has only FE capability.

I have tried to enable L0s, L1 and don't disable L1 substate,
but still get the issue that interrupt can't be fired immediately but
the Link status is up.

If enable L1_1 on the mainline, the issue could be observed too.
