Thanks for pointing out that I broke this log by omitting the mention
of a switch. Is the rewording below better? If so, Krzysztof can
amend the commit.

After commit 4fb8e46c1bc4 ("PCI: tegra194: Enable support for 256 Byte
payload"), we initialize MPS=256 for tegra194 Root Ports before enumerating
the hierarchy.

Consider an Endpoint that supports only MPS=128. In the default situation
(CONFIG_PCIE_BUS_DEFAULT set and no "pci=pcie_bus_*" parameter), Linux
tries to configure the MPS of every device to match the upstream bridge.
If the Endpoint is directly below the Root Port, Linux can reduce the Root
Port MPS to 128 to match the Endpoint. But if there's a switch in the
middle, Linux doesn't reduce the Root Port MPS because other devices below
the switch may already be configured with MPS larger than 128.

4fb8e46c1bc4 appeared in v6.0-rc1, so this wouldn't be a candidate for
v6.5, but it does sound like it should be tagged for stable? If so,
Krzysztof can probably add that as well.
