Ok. So due to the errata, when the link enters L23 Ready state, it cannot
transition to L3 when Vaux is not available. And the workaround requires setting
SYS_AUX_PWR_DET bit?

IIUC, the issue here is that the controller is not able to detect the presence
of Vaux in the L23 Ready state. So it relies on the SYS_AUX_PWR_DET bit. But
even in that case, how would you support the endpoint *with* Vaux?
