This is an issue where we suggested that the poster go to the arm mailing list. I'm not sure, but the ARM hardware (or maybe it was the software) wasn't allowing the VDM that is allowed in the PCIe spec. Something on the motherboard side is non-compliant, not the Ethernet controller.
I'd go check the arm mailing list. I'm pretty sure they had a workaround.

I am seeing similar problem what you were experiencing on this mailing list, where the bus master enable will cause the driver to hang Can you please let me know if you are able to resolve this issue on Intel I210. I have tried disabling Bus mastering after that its able to enumerate the pci devices but the driver does not get initialized becuase of the bus mastering. I was reading you previous mail threads on I210 where VDM messages being generated by this I210 Network device for NC-SI inband management. I have eeprom dump on X86 Linux OS. Can you please let me know how to disable this MCTP in ethernet EEPROM. I am using Intel I210 plug-in pcie card, which works @2.5GT/s and x1 linkwidth. Thanks in advance.
