Internal link is active but link is
presented as down in the slot status register

I think the dllsc on slot 1 occurs when the
whole complex powers down after both slots
are powered-off

Lukas presented a possible race [1] with a
spurious surprise hotplug where you could be
in off state and link is still inactive,
expecting the state machine to power on the slot.

This is avoided in this SSD because the
individual slots in the complex won’t be
surprise hotplugged, avoiding spurious
events.

As far as the kernel knows by checking the
slot status register, the link is inactive.
Internally to the complex, link is still
active until both slots are powered off.

It’s the powering off of the whole complex
that causes slot 1 to throw dllsc, where
internally slot 1 is going from active to
inactive, and externally the kernel sees it
staying inactive.
