The PERST# GPIO is already asserted + deasserted from the PCIe Root Complex
(host) driver:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v6.13-rc5/drivers/pci/controller/dwc/pcie-dw-rockchip.c#L191-L206

which will cause the endpoint device (a RTL8125 NIC in this case)
to be reset during bootup.


Kind regards,
