Sorry for the delay, it took me time to test some more things and 
different SSDs. First of all I still see the issue with your v3 on top 
of v6.18-rc3, which includes some fixes for ASPM support [1].

I have tried 3 different SSDs, none of them are working, but the 
symptoms are different, although all related with ASPM (pcie_aspm=off 
workarounds the issue).

With a Fox Spirit PM18 SSD (Silicon Motion, Inc. SM2263EN/SM2263XT 
controller), I do not have more than this:
[    5.196723] nvme nvme0: pci function 0000:01:00.0
[    5.198843] nvme 0000:01:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002)

With a WD Blue SN570 SSD, I get this:
[    5.199513] nvme nvme0: pci function 0000:01:00.0
[    5.201653] nvme 0000:01:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002)
[    5.270334] nvme nvme0: allocated 32 MiB host memory buffer (8 segments).
[    5.277624] nvme nvme0: 8/0/0 default/read/poll queues

[   48.280495] Buffer I/O error on dev nvme0n1, logical block 0, async page read


Finally with a PNY CS1030 SSD (Phison PS5015-E15 controller), I get this:
[    5.215631] nvme nvme0: pci function 0000:01:00.0
[    5.220435] nvme 0000:01:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002)
[    5.329565] nvme nvme0: allocated 64 MiB host memory buffer (16 segments).
[   66.540485] nvme nvme0: I/O tag 28 (401c) QID 0 timeout, disable controller
[   66.585245] nvme 0000:01:00.0: probe with driver nvme failed with error -4

Note that I also tested this latest SSD on a VisionFive 2 board with exactly
the same kernel (I just moved the SSD and booted), and it works fine with ASPM
enabled (confirmed with lspci).

I am not sure on my side how to debug that. What I know is that it is 
linked to ASPM L1, L0 works fine. In other words the SSDs work fine with 
this patch:

diff --git a/drivers/pci/pcie/aspm.c b/drivers/pci/pcie/aspm.c

 			link->aspm_default |= PCIE_LINK_STATE_L0S;

 		override = link->aspm_default & ~link->aspm_enabled;
 		if (override)
 			pci_info(pdev, "ASPM: default states%s%s\n",

I can test more things if needed, but I don't know where to start.
