It turns out that this patch causes troubles on some machines, see [1].
That could be "resolved" by doing

diff --git a/drivers/pci/pcie/portdrv_core.c b/drivers/pci/pcie/portdrv_core.c
index bda630889f95..68b0013c3662 100644
--- a/drivers/pci/pcie/portdrv_core.c
+++ b/drivers/pci/pcie/portdrv_core.c
@@ -331,7 +331,7 @@ int pcie_port_device_register(struct pci_dev *dev)
  
  	pci_set_master(dev);
  
-	irq_services = 0;
+	irq_services = PCIE_PORT_SERVICE_BWNOTIF;
  	if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PCIE_PME))
  		irq_services |= PCIE_PORT_SERVICE_PME;
  	if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PCIEAER))

thus considering bandwidth notification as an IRQ-providing service as
well. But as far as I can see, there is no driver for this port service,
thus no one should ever request or even handle that interrupt.

I'm not yet seeing the key difference that could explain this effect.
What else happens via pcie_device_init() when called for
PCIE_PORT_SERVICE_BWNOTIF, although there will never be a driver?
