Can you share the output of "sudo lspci -vv" and the dmesg log for
this Nemo board that doesn't work with v6.18-rc3?  I would still guess
that Nemo root port has an issue rather than the HD5870.

Hypexed reported that "pasemi,nemo PA6T 0x900102 A-EON Amigaone X1000"
worked fine on 0739473694c4, which was just before v6.18-rc1.  That
system has:

  pci 0000:00:10.0: [1959:a002] type 01 class 0x060400 PCIe Root Port
  pci 0000:00:10.0: PCI bridge to [bus 01]
  pci 0000:01:00.0: [1002:6610] type 00 class 0x030000 PCIe Legacy Endpoint
  pci 0000:01:00.0: ASPM: DT platform, enabling L0s-up L0s-dw L1 ASPM-L1.1 ASPM-L1.2 PCI-PM-L1.1 PCI-PM-L1.2

which is a [1959:a002] PA Semi PWRficient PCI-Express Root Port
leading to [1002:6610] AMD Oland XT [Radeon HD 8670 / R5 340X OEM / R7
250/350/350X OEM], and we tried to enable all ASPM states.
