Hi, after enabling that option, there were not many additional lines in dmesg. Asking the debugfs was not possible due to kernel-lockdown.

So maybe the timeouts yesterday was more a problem with the card, although it did respond after reboot again. So how should we proceed? It looks like the "auto_delink_en=0" helps for this device. I can keep this in my config file. Maybe it's a problem of my device only, but still there is the strange thing that it never caused any problems with the default driver. If it also affects other devices with the same vendor/device id, maybe the module should disable the auto_delink_en automatically. Maybe this can be added to the unusual device config.
