Sorry for being dense but I don't understand this at all:

The PCI_EXP_DPC_CAP_DL_ACTIVE bit which you check here indicates
that the port is capable of sending an ERR_COR interrupt whenever
the link transitions from inactive to active.

What is the connection to the PCI_EXP_LNKSTA_LT bit (which indicates
that the link is still being trained)?

Also, the negation of a bitwise AND is always either 0 or 1
(!(lnk_status & PCI_EXP_DPC_CAP_DL_ACTIVE)), so bit 0 is set or not set.
However PCI_EXP_LNKSTA_LT is bit 11.  A bitwise AND of bit 11 and 0 is
always 0, so the expression can never be 1.

Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Lukas
