s/it's/its/ twice above.
It's == It is.
Its == belonging to 'it'.
Weird, I know, but that's English for you :)

s/pcie/PCIe/ twice above.
s/PCIE/PCIe/; also reference r5.0 instead of r4.0 if possible.

This sounds like a general problem of most device config bits being
cleared by reset.  Usually these are restored by pci_restore_state().
Is that function missing a restore for PCI_EXP_DEVCTL2?  I'd rather
have a general-purpose way of restoring all the config state than
little pieces scattered all over.
