When the Root Complex is probed, the default behavior is to spin in a loop waiting for the link to come up. In some systems the link is not brought up during probe, but later in the context of an end-point turning on. Call trace: dw_pcie_wait_for_link << spins in a loop for 1 second dw_pcie_host_init Adding the snps,skip-wait-link-up property in the pcie device tree node will skip this loop and save 1 second per interface on pcie probe for systems that do not need to bring up the link this early in the boot sequence.
