After not writing back the pci values as done with this patch?
Yes, I think it did, it's the network card behind the bridge.

It definitely does with this patch.

Thanks,

What about this one. (I assume there cannot be more than 256
functions in a slot. There might be a better value):

PCIe: ASPM: Break out of endless loop waiting for PCI config bits to switch

Makes a Compaq 6735s boot reliably again which hang in the loop
on some boots.
Also correctly recover PCI bits if link trainig timed out.
