RK3576 Rock 4D: PCIe NVMe device not detected in mainline kernel despite working in U-Boot

Hi linux-rockchip, Hi Nicolas,

I'm testing mainline kernel support on the Rock 4D board and 
encountering an issue where PCIe NVMe devices are not detected by the 
kernel, despite working correctly in U-Boot. That is despite Nicolas 
recently enabling PCIe support for Rock 4D in 
29ff4bbff793334d6aff2238fdc3ccf3859d60da.

U-Boot successfully detects and initializes the NVMe device:

pcie at 2a200000: PCIe Linking... LTSSM is 0x0
pcie at 2a200000: PCIe Link up, LTSSM is 0x130011
pcie at 2a200000: PCIE-0: Link up (Gen2-x1, Bus0)

Device 0: Vendor: 0x1344 Rev: HPS0050  Prod: UTFRQ0170J8QSZ
             Type: Hard Disk
             Capacity: 488386.3 MB = 476.9 GB (1000215216 x 512)


However, after kernel boot, only the PCIe root port is visible:

00:00.0 PCI bridge: Device 1d87:3576 (rev 01)

The full boot log including the u-boot part and kernel PCI_DEBUG output 
is also attached.

Thanks for any insights!
