0 meaning "not asserted".

Adding the read in the GCC driver .probe ensures we get the
unmodified data, as all GCC consumers must wait for it to probe. 

PCIE3A is used for WLAN on the CRD, btw.

Fair point.

As far as power goes, the RC hangs off CX, which is on whenever the
system is not in power collapse. As for clocks, at least parts of it
use the crystal oscillator, not sure if directly.

Depends on the hw.

Right, reading it again, it doesn't really tell the whole story.

No, I insist that this general statement, while indeed lacking a full
description of the problem, is provably true. The AUX clock will not
turn on if the PCIe reset is asserted, at least on SC8280XP.
