[PATCH] PCI: Disallow retraining link for Atheros QCA98xx chips on non-Gen1 PCIe bridges

Atheros QCA9880 and QCA9890 chips do not behave after a bus reset and also
after retrain link when PCIe bridge is not in GEN1 mode at 2.5 GT/s speed.
The device will throw a Link Down error and config space is not accessible
again. Retrain link can be called only when using GEN1 PCIe bridge or when
PCIe bridge has forced link speed to 2.5 GT/s via PCI_EXP_LNKCTL2 register.

This issue was reproduced with more Compex WLE900VX cards (QCA9880 based)
on Armada 385 with pci-mvebu.c driver and also on Armada 3720 with
pci-aardvark.c driver. Also this issue was reproduced with some "noname"
card with QCA9890 WiFi chip on Armada 3720. All problematic cards with
these QCA chips have PCI device id 0x003c.

Tests showed that other WiFi cards based on AR93xx (PCI device id 0x0030)
and AR9287 (PCI device id 0x002e) chips do not have these problems.

To workaround this issue, this change introduces a new PCI quirk called
PCI_DEV_FLAGS_NO_RETRAIN_LINK_WHEN_NOT_GEN1 for PCI device id 0x003c.

When this quirk is set then kernel disallows triggering PCI_EXP_LNKCTL_RL
bit in config space of PCIe Bridge in case PCIe Bridge is capable of higher
speed than 2.5 GT/s and higher speed is already allowed. When PCIe Bridge
has accessible LNKCTL2 register then kernel tries to force target link
speed via PCI_EXP_LNKCTL2_TLS* bits to 2.5 GT/s. After this change it is
possible to trigger PCI_EXP_LNKCTL_RL bit without causing issues on
problematic Atheros QCA98xx cards.

Currently only PCIe ASPM kernel code triggers this PCI_EXP_LNKCTL_RL bit,
so quirk check is added only into pcie/aspm.c file.
