It sounds like it's a request from the PCI device to the PCI phy that
the clk should be on. I googled pcie clkreq open drain and this pdf[1]
says

"The CLKREQ# signal is an open drain, active low signal that is driven
low by the PCI Express M.2 add-I Card function to request that the PCI
Express reference clock be available (active clock state) in order to
allow the PCI Express interface to send/receive data"

so presumably if there isn't an external pull on the signal the open
drain feature will not work and the PCIe device won't be able to drive
it low.
