Yes, if Attention attention is not there and Surprise removal is supported.

Agreed.

yes, that is workaround to to reset repeater in between.

Also we can get rid of annoying aer during power off slot.

Also at least other os will turn on link after turn on the power,
as hotplug is working if BIOS have link disabled when boot system
without card inserted.

I suggest that link event handling will be enabled automatically when
attention button is not there and surprise removal is supported.
And when that enabled, should disable Present event handling.
