You are correct and I am unable to reproduce a scenario where this is 
still required.

Upon reviewing the history, I initially implemented this to address a 
dependency issue in the original code, where enable_link was invoked 
prematurely following the deassertion of PERST, as soon as the host was 
ready but before the device configuration space was initialized, so host 
enumeration was wrong.

Since then, the perst_irq is enabled by start_link. Consequently, the 
initialization, enable_link, and enumeration sequence is now correct

This bit is useless and can be dropped

Thank you for identifying it.
