It's most likely because the driver didn't provide time for the clocks
synchronization before clearing the GCTL soft reset. I noted that issue
in the patch in the discussion thread. I can send out a patch next week.

Did this happen with disabling LPM or with increasing BESL baseline?
Note that increasing the recommended BESL is not the same as disabling
LPM. With the recommended BESL provided, the host can decide when it
should put the device in low power so that the device has enough time to
wake up. With LPM enabled, there maybe some minor speed degradation but
not that much. Anyway, you can experiment with the BESL value to have
the acceptable speed while still have power saving capability (or
completely disable LPM if power saving is not an issue for you).
