This code does not work because at this stage endpoint device does not
have to be ready and therefore link is not established yet.

Also this code is not running when kernel issue PCIe Hot Reset via
PCI Secondary Bus Reset bit.

And it does not handle possible hot-plug situation.

That check that code below has to be done _after_ kernel enumerate
device. PCI core code has already logic to handle delays for "slow"
devices.

And reverse operation (setting lnkctl2 target speed to original value)
has to be called after unplugging device - when link goes down.

If you want to work on this stuff, I can try to find my notes which I
done during investigation of this issue... where is probably the best
place in kernel pci core code for handling this issue.
