We noticed PCIe link-up issues with some endpoints. link-up at the physical
layer level but NOT at the Data link layer level precisely. We further
figured out that it is the DLFE DLLPs that the root port sends during the
link up process which are causing the endpoints get confused and preventing
them from sending the InitFC DLLPs leading to the link not being up at
Data Link Layer level.

PCIe spec rev4.0, Rev 4.0, ver 1.0, Section-3.3 says that (verbatim) 
"The Data
Link Feature Exchange Enable field permits systems to disable the Data Link
Feature Exchange. This can be used to work around legacy hardware that does
not correctly ignore the DLLP".

Based on this, we added the following code to retry link-up with DLFE 
disabled,
only upon confirming that the link came up at phy level but not at the 
DL level
in the previous attempt.
