The PCI EXPRESS CARD ELECTROMECHANICAL SPECIFICATION defines the Power
Sequencing and Reset Signal Timings in Table 2-4. Please also refer Figure
2-10: Power Up of the CEM.

In my code I used T PERST-CLK (i.e REFCLK stable before PERST# inactive).
REFCLK to the card is enabled as part of PHY enable and then wait for 100μs
before making PERST# inactive.
Power to the device is given during board power up and the assumption here is
it will take more the 100ms for the probe to be invoked after board power up
(i.e after ROM, bootloaders and linux kernel). But if you have a regulator that
is enabled in PCI probe, then T PVPERL (100ms) should also used in probe.
Thanks
