I assume this was previously not done because the upstream port
requires a healthy link and maybe the error indicates we don't have one.

So I'd imagine this change may have a bad effect on PCIe devices
even if we know it's fine CXL ones in the case of certain protocol errors.

Also, does the error log stuff that follows make much sense for
an upstream port?
