Sorry for the inconvenience of more mail, but I'm providing as much
detail as I can.

This hack has been confirmed to work in U-boot also.

So my report suggests this is not specific to Linux and because same
workaround works in U-boot simplified driver model I suggest you check
from your side.

Previously PCIe link training timeout, not working. Now I'm very happy
with working PCIe in Linux and U-boot.
