Apparently not, according to the "lspci-bridge-after-hotplug" you've
attached to the bugzilla, the PME Interrupt Enable bit wasn't set in
the Root Control register.  The kernel doesn't register an IRQ handler
for PME because firmware doesn't grant it control, so it's firmware's
job to enable and handle the IRQ (or poll the relevant register or
whatever).

  RootCtl: ErrCorrectable- ErrNon-Fatal- ErrFatal- PMEIntEna- CRSVisible-
                                                   ^^^^^^^^^^

Including the endpoint device, i.e. the NIC?

Check whether PCI_EXP_RTCTL_PMEIE was set by firmware in the Root Control
register.

We already have quirks which clear pdev->pme_support, e.g.
pci_fixup_no_d0_pme() and pci_fixup_no_msi_no_pme().
Perhaps something like that would be appropriate here.
