Had no time yet to test if I didn't mess it up. I am also thinking of adding a kernel parameter to enable this workaround on demand, but not quite sure on that one yet. > I see there is a script that does something but unfortunately I'm not > fluent in Python so can't extract the steps how the issue can be > reproduced ;-) > > One thing that I'm working on is that Linux PCI subsystem misses certain > delays that are needed after D3cold -> D0 transition, otherwise the > device and/or link may not be ready before we access it.
