Can you please include the spec citation here?  In the PCIe base spec,
PERST# is only mentioned in PCIe r5.0, sec 6.6.1, and I don't see the
connection there to 100ms between de-assert of PERST# and enabling
link training.

Sec 6.1.1 does talk about 100ms before sending config requests (for
ports that support <= 5 GT/s), and 100ms after link training completes
(for ports that support > 5 GT/s).

Maybe there's more language in a form-factor spec or something?
