    Thank for your following up on this issue, SK.

    Our issue got resolved, on setting the base class code (upper byte at offset 0Bh in the PCIe configuration space) to 0xFF (Device does not fit any defined class). We did not have to change our host device or OS.

    Regards,

The PCIe link is linked up correctly. This is uncertain why the driver is not running, perhaps there might have some dependency on this host/OS. If possible, please try it out on another server or machine and see if you have encountered the same problem.
