In the v2 version of this patch at:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230315070800.1615527-1-s-vadapalli@xxxxxx/
I had implemented it as suggested above by you. However, based on the discussion
with Bjorn at:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230509182416.GA1259841@bhelgaas/
it was agreed upon that waiting for two things in succession doesn't seem to be
the best way to implement it. Therefore, the cdns_pcie_host_training_complete()
function in the v2 patch is merged into the cdns_pcie_host_wait_for_link()
function in this patch.

Sure. I will drop it in the v4 patch.

I added the word "Fatal" since Linux is almost always guaranteed to crash if the
link training doesn't complete before the PCI subsystem attempts to enumerate
the EP devices. Therefore, adding the word "Fatal" will help the users identify
what the cause of the crash is, which would otherwise be overlooked, unless the
critical nature of this error is conveyed to the user.
