I think you did misinterpret the results. The max latency just says which power
state is the deepest it will request APST, and your controller's reported
values will allow the deepest low power state your controller supports, which
is known to cause problems with some platform/controller combinations.

The troubleshooting steps for your observation is to:

  1. Turn off APST (nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=0)
  2. Turn off APSM (pcie_aspm=off)
  3. Turn off both

Typically one of those resolves the issue.
