I mean once we resume the downstream port (the bridge) we also resume
"PCIe port services" including pciehp and only then descend to whatever
device is physically connected to that port.

That sounds rather complex, to be honest ;-)
According to PCI FW 3.2 the OS is responsible for those delays if the
platform firmware does not provide that _DSM. So simpler way would be
always do the delays if the _DSM is not there.

Well it says this:
To allow components to perform internal initialization, system software
must wait a specified minimum period following the end of a Conventional
Reset of one or more devices before it is permitted to issue
Configuration Requests to those devices, unless Readiness Notifications
mechanisms are used
My understanding of the above (might be wrong) is that Readiness
Notification can shorten the delay.

My understanding (again might be wrong) is that there are two factors
here. One is to get the link trained and the other is to give the
downstream device some time to perform its internal initialization so
that it is ready to answer config requests.

Well the order is from parent to children and in this case parent is the
PCIe downstream port including its port services. I'm not entirely sure
which order they get resumed but I think they are still resumed before
any of the children (probably depends on which order port services get
registered vs. the children gets enumerated).
