Is this a regression?  Was it also present on older kernel versions?

The PCIe Root Port 0000:00:1c:0 is hotplug-capable and is constantly
signaling an interrupt.  Upon checking the Slot Status register,
the PCIe hotplug driver discovers that the Presence Detect bit is set,
i.e. the hardware signals hotplug of a card.  However when trying
to bring up the slot, the link fails to go up.

What's the Secondary Bus number of that Root Port?  Is there a PCIe
device below it or is the Presence Detect bit just a phantom?

If you open a bug at bugzilla.kernel.org and attach full dmesg and
lspci -vvv output plus an ACPI dump, we can analyze the issue further,
but I suspect this is a BIOS issue (vendor probably forgot to disable
that Root Port) and you need to ask your vendor for a BIOS update.
It doesn't look like a bug in the kernel to me at first glance.
If your vendor is unresponsive, you can try removing the offending
Root Port via sysfs on boot.

Thanks,
