It has been reported that on RTL8106e the link-up interrupt may be
significantly delayed if the user enables ASPM L1. Per default ASPM
is disabled. The change leaves L1 enabled on the PCIe link (thus still
allowing to reach higher package power saving states), but the
NIC won't actively trigger it.

At the time of 0866cd15029b ASPM was enabled in r8169. Interesting that
after 0866cd15029b nobody reported the link-up issue you're facing.
A few months later (with b75bb8a5b755) we had to disable ASPM again
because of several problem reports. Since then 0866cd15029b has no
practical relevance in mainline.
