Created a Bugzilla entry and added dmesg and lspci output:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=208667

As I noted in that report, I subsequently found this page on ASMedia's
site: https://www.asmedia.com.tw/eng/e_show_products.php?cate_index=169&item=114
which indicates this ASM1083 device has "No PCIe ASPM support". It's
not clear why this problem isn't occurring on Windows however - either
it is not enabling ASPM, somehow it doesn't cause issues with the PCIe
link, or it is causing issues and just doesn't notify the user in any
way. I can try and check if this bridge device is ending up with ASPM
enabled under Windows 10 or not..
