Not sure. the silicon does not report in-band correctly if we turn off
pcie link before turn the power of card.

case 1:
a. disable pci link
b. turn off power of pci cards
c. Present bit: card present.
d. remove the card.
e. Present bit: card is present.

case 2:
a. turn off power of pci cards
b. disable pci link
c. Present bit: card present.
d. remove the card.
e. Present bit: card is NOT present.

case 3:
a. disable pci link
b. turn off power of pci cards
c. Present bit: card present.
d. turn on pcie link
e. wait 20ms
f. turn off pcie link
g. remove the card.
h. Present bit: card is NOT present.

We have 2debd9289997 (turn off link before turn off power) to avoid
some AER ....

with this patch we still keep that and link off
also have presence detect work correctly.
