Yep, this explains why nothing below the bridge is accessible.
Secondary/subordinate=0 means no config transactions will be
forwarded, and the windows are all disabled, so no MMIO transactions
will be forwarded either.

Good question.  Documentation/PCI/pci-error-recovery.rst has some
details about the design, including this:

  It is important for the platform to restore the PCI config space to
  the "fresh poweron" state, rather than the "last state". After a
  slot reset, the device driver will almost always use its standard
  device initialization routines, and an unusual config space setup
  may result in hung devices, kernel panics, or silent data
  corruption.

I'm not sure exactly how to interpret that.  It seems like "restoring
to 'fresh poweron' state" is basically just doing a reset, which gives
results like your 01:00.0 device above.  IIUC, we call a driver's
.slot_reset() callback after a reset, and it's supposed to be able to
initialize the device from power-on state.

01:00.0 is a Switch Upstream Port, so portdrv should claim it, and it
looks like pcie_portdrv_slot_reset() should be restoring some state.
But maybe dev->state_saved is false so pci_restore_state() bails out?
Maybe add some printks in that path to see where it's broken?
