Subject[PATCH v6 5/5] PCI: Remove unused pcie_get_minimum_link()
From
Date
From: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@google.com>

In some cases pcie_get_minimum_link() returned misleading information
because it found the slowest link and the narrowest link without
considering the total bandwidth of the link.

For example, consider a path with these two links:

- 16.0 GT/s x1 link (16.0 * 10^9 * 128 / 130) * 1 / 8 = 1969 MB/s
- 2.5 GT/s x16 link ( 2.5 * 10^9 * 8 / 10) * 16 / 8 = 4000 MB/s

The available bandwidth of the path is limited by the 16 GT/s link to about
1969 MB/s, but pcie_get_minimum_link() returned 2.5 GT/s x1, which
corresponds to only 250 MB/s.

Callers should use pcie_print_link_status() instead, or
pcie_bandwidth_available() if they need more detailed information.

Remove pcie_get_minimum_link() since there are no callers left.
