Right. This is concerning if we have a half way solution.

Just to clarify my understanding, are you saying that the pcie pipe clks
are also tied to the memory logic and so toggling them on/off is used to
reset the memories inside the phy? Or the memories inside the
controller? What is the pipe clk clocking in these cases?
