S0ix and C-State 10 are ACPI concepts that don't mean anything in a
PCIe context.
I think LTR is only involved in deciding whether to enter the ASPM
L1.2 substate. Maybe the system will only enter C-State 10 or S0ix
when the link is in L1.2?

I don't believe this. Why would resetting the root port change what
the downstream device reports via LTR messages?
>From PCIe r5.0, sec 5.5.1:
The following rules define how the L1.1 and L1.2 substates are entered:
...
* When in ASPM L1.0 and the ASPM L1.2 Enable bit is Set, the L1.2
substate must be entered when CLKREQ# is deasserted and all of
the following conditions are true:
- The reported snooped LTR value last sent or received by this
Port is greater than or equal to the value set by the
LTR_L1.2_THRESHOLD Value and Scale fields, or there is no
snoop service latency requirement.
- The reported non-snooped LTR last sent or received by this
Port value is greater than or equal to the value set by the
LTR_L1.2_THRESHOLD Value and Scale fields, or there is no
non-snoop service latency requirement.
>From the LTR Message format in sec 6.18:
No-Snoop Latency and Snoop Latency: As shown in Figure 6-15, these
fields include a Requirement bit that indicates if the device has a
latency requirement for the given type of Request. If the
Requirement bit is Set, the LatencyValue and LatencyScale fields
describe the latency requirement. If the Requirement bit is Clear,
there is no latency requirement and the LatencyValue and
LatencyScale fields are ignored.
Resetting the root port might make it forget the LTR value it last
received. If that's equivalent to having no service latency
requirement, it *might* enable L1.2 entry, although that doesn't seem
equivalent to the downstream device having sent an LTR message with
the Requirement bit cleared.
I think the endpoint is required to send a new LTR message before it
goes to a non-D0 state (sec 6.18), so the bridge will capture the
latency again, and we'll probably be back in the same state.
This all seems fragile to me. If we force the link to L1.2 without
knowing accurate exit latencies and latency tolerance, the device is
liable to drop packets.

PCIe r5.0, sec 7.5.3.3, says Function Level Reset can only be
supported by endpoints, so I guess this will actually do some other
kind of reset.
