please get the logs from here,

Issue affect link-up.
yes, pm runtime is enabled, but rtl8106e always stays D0 even if the
cable isn't present.

I don't know the exact version, only the chip name 806e(pci device id 0x8165).
ok, Im asking Realtek to help how to identify the chip issue is observed.

On the mainline, the aspm is disable, so you may not observe this.
If you enable ASPM and must wait CHIP go to power-saving mode, then
you can observe the issue.

Thanks for suggestions, I tried to use PHY_POLL, it could do the same
thing that I did.
