 I wonder if this is the other side of a supposed erratum observed here:

<https://lore.kernel.org/all/alpine.DEB.2.21.2202010240190.58572@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/>

Downstream there's the same ASMedia ASM2824 PCIe switch whose downstream 
ports don't want to train with a Pericom part above Gen1.

 Of course we don't know an ASM2824 is there until we have successfully 
negotiated the link, so we may have to generalise my proposal if we can 
find a way similar to what I have done for U-boot that does not disturb 
Linux's operation.  This is because there are PCIe option cards out there 
with the ASM2824 onboard, so it could be possible for the problem to 
trigger anywhere where the conditions for the erratum are met.

 Also in that case retraining should work with the cap removed to get a 
higher final speed just as with the Pericom part.
