Thank you for providing the schematic. It does appear to be in an
uncontrolled state. Theoretically, PCIe control timing requires a
controllable power supply. The current design may cause trouble
enumerating certain devices due to always-on power. Unfortunately, this
board already has always-on power, so let's just leave it as is.
