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
[ 19.192350] nvme nvme0: using unchecked data buffer
[ 48.108400] nvme nvme0: controller is down; will reset: CSTS=0xffffffff, PCI_STATUS=0x10
[ 48.113885] nvme nvme0: Does your device have a faulty power saving mode enabled?
[ 48.121346] nvme nvme0: Try "nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=0 pcie_aspm=off pcie_port_pm=off" and report a bug
[ 48.176878] nvme0n1: I/O Cmd(0x2) @ LBA 0, 8 blocks, I/O Error (sct 0x3 / sc 0x71)

[ 48.246914] nvme nvme0: Disabling device after reset failure: -19
[ 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

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.
