Okay, so that series wasn't going to fix anything, but at least it gets
some visibility into what's happened. The DPC was triggered due to a
Surprise Down uncorrectable error, so the power settting is causing the
link to fail.

The NVMe driver has quirks specifically for this vendor's devices to
fence off NVMe specific automated power settings. Your observations
appear to align with the same issues.
