Subject: IB/hfi1: Use static CTLE with Preset 6 for integrated HFIs

From: Easwar Hariharan <easwar.hariharan@intel.com>


[ Upstream commit 39e2afa8d042a53d855137d4c5a689a6f5492b39 ]

After extended testing, it was found that the previous PCIe Gen
3 recipe, which used adaptive CTLE with Preset 4, could cause an
NMI/Surprise Link Down in about 1 in 100 to 1 in 1000 power cycles on
some platforms. New EV data combined with extensive empirical data
indicates that the new recipe should use static CTLE with Preset 6 for
all integrated silicon SKUs.
