I couldn't find any clue that says PERST# is an open-drain signal. Could
you quote it from PCI Express Card Electromechanical Specification?

This is not true from my POV. An open-drain PCIe side-band  signal
is used for both of EP and RC to achieve some special work-flow, like
CLKREQ# for L1ss, etc. Since both ends could control it. But PERST# is a
fundamental reset signal driven by RC which should be in sure state,
high or low, has nothing to do with open-drain.

So my biggest guess is we don't need this change at all.
gpio0b4 is used as gpio function, the problem you faced is that it
didn't set gpio0b4 as pull-up, because the defaut state is pull-down.

Maybe the drive current of this IO is too weak, making it unable to 
fully drive high in the pull-down state? If that's the case, can you see 
a half-level signal on the oscilloscope?
