I think it still makes sense for pcie_retrain_link to wait for the Link Training bit, since it is typical for the retraining to never go to a LTSSM state where the LinkUp is 0 (e.g. Recovery -> Configuration), thus the Data Link Layer will stay in DL_Active. But it is still important to wait for the link training to complete in that case, but also because the training may not cause the Data Link state to change immediately. However since DLLLA reporting is optional, it is probably ideal if the pcie_retrain_link only calls pcie_wait_for_link if reporting is available? This would avoid the fixed delay of 1s upon link retraining for devices without reporting, which is unnecessary in the majority of cases.
