I don't think this is what PCIE_T_RRS_READY_MS is for.  Sec 6.6.1
requires 100ms *after* the link is up before sending config requests:

  For cases where system software cannot determine that DRS is
  supported by the attached device, or by the Downstream Port above
  the attached device:

    ◦ With a Downstream Port that does not support Link speeds greater
      than 5.0 GT/s, software must wait a minimum of 100 ms following
      exit from a Conventional Reset before sending a Configuration
      Request to the device immediately below that Port.

    ◦ With a Downstream Port that supports Link speeds greater than
      5.0 GT/s, software must wait a minimum of 100 ms after Link
      training completes before sending a Configuration Request to the
      device immediately below that Port. Software can determine when
      Link training completes by polling the Data Link Layer Link
      Active bit or by setting up an associated interrupt (see §
      Section 6.7.3.3).  It is strongly recommended for software to
      use this mechanism whenever the Downstream Port supports it.
