What a mess.

I am going to apply these but first if anyone can explain to
me what commit 907fce090253 was _supposed_ to to I would
be grateful, I read it multiple times but I still have not
understood it. This series does the right thing but why things
are they way they are in the mainline honestly I have no
idea, this does not make any sense in the slightest:

ret = of_property_read_u32(np, "num-lanes", &lanes);
if (ret)
	lanes = 0;

/* Set the number of lanes */
val = dw_pcie_readl_dbi(pci, PCIE_PORT_LINK_CONTROL);
val &= ~PORT_LINK_MODE_MASK;
switch (lanes) {
case 1:
	val |= PORT_LINK_MODE_1_LANES;
	break;
case 2:
	val |= PORT_LINK_MODE_2_LANES;
	break;
case 4:
	val |= PORT_LINK_MODE_4_LANES;
	break;
case 8:
	val |= PORT_LINK_MODE_8_LANES;
	break;
default:
	dev_err(pci->dev, "num-lanes %u: invalid value\n", lanes);
	return;
}

why do we need to set lanes to 0 if num-lanes is not present ? To print
an error message ?

I really do not understand this code.
