FYI. Looks like 4514d991d992 ("PCI: PM: Do not read power state in
pci_enable_device_flags()") appeared in v5.13-rc1, so it would be nice
to fix before v5.13.

Initial report:
On the 4.19 kernel, this works perfect. It also works perfectly in
Windows. If I reboot into 4.19, there is no problem with networking,
however in 5.10, there is ZERO network connectivity. The link NEVER
comes up. You can't assign an IP address to the interface.

If I revert commit 4514d991d99211f225d83b7e640285f29f0755d0 (
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/4514d991d99211f225d83b7e640285f29f0755d0)
from the 5.10.36 kernel, I do NOT have this hardware failure
message. This commit relates to PCI power state.
It would appear something about this change that the e1000e driver
is not handling properly on this system, causing the card to not
work.
As mentioned this is in current kernel versions (5.13, 5.11, and
5.10.36+). Given that this is a regression, a breaking change for
the usability of these cards, and we know exactly what causes it for
a hopefully easy fix, I've upped the severity.
