So you first try lower and lower link rates, until you're at the
lowest...

...and then go to highest rate, double lane count, and go back back to
reducing link rate. Rinse and repeat.

Problem is, lane_count will always be > 1, and you'll keep doubling lane
count without bounds if link training persistently fails, and I don't
think you'll reach the below else branch.

I regret that I haven't caught all of these issues all at once; it is in
part testament to the fact that the state machine here is not easy to
follow.
