As I posted on the Bugzilla report, based on lspci output it appears
Windows does have ASPM L0s enabled for this bridge. However, it
appears to have the exact same problem: there are correctable PCIe
error entries showing up in the Windows system event log against the
root port the bridge is connected to. So I am thinking this hardware
is just broken with ASPM enabled.
