Why? AFAIU max-link-speed semantics it works as less-than-or-equal
operator isn't it? The modern DW PCIe Root ports and Endpoints
IP-cores support up to Gen5 PCIe speed including the Gen5 mode (see
the CX_MAX_PCIE_SPEED IP-core synthesize paramter). It's reasonable to
set the max-link-speed here to be in coherency with the IP-core
reference manual.

I've set max-link-speed to "3" here. So no error will be caused neither
by this schema nor by the pci-bus.yaml bindings.

* Though these examples won't be evaluated because the generic DW PCIe
RP and EP schemas have been marked as "select: false".

I disagree. As I said above the max PCIe speed limit set here has been
taken from the HW reference manual so it describes the modern DW PCIe
controllers capability. No mater what value is set by the pci-bus.yaml
schema (eventually we'll get to have it increased to Gen5 too) we can
use the DW PCIe-specific limitation here as a known upper capabilities
bound.

I see. The series will be re-based onto 5.19-rc1 in the next patchset
revision.
