Reading the other series, I smell this can only be handled by a quirk...
This might be a defect or the board not following PCIE hw specs.

Thing is that the bug/limitation is there and we have enough info to
find way to fix this and lots of tester.

Eventually even a fixup based on a specific compatible.
