Presumably that only works because you happen to be probing pcie2x1 
first, so it's not robust if that is disabled or probes later.

Looking again, it seems the answer was right there in the error message 
all along - the PCIe 3.0 phy wants its external reference clock 
describing correctly, and it's *that* clock which depends on 
VCC3V3_PI6C_03, which happens to be turned on in parallel with VCC3V3_PCIE.

Cheers,
Robin.
