Maybe use that patch with some modifications then:
* add a comment to explain that this is currently called from possibly
atomic context through pci_config_{read,write} and that the link
state handling never belonged here.
* instead of looping five times for up to 2ms each, loop 100 times
around a udelay(20) to hopefully be done earlier. I was going to
suggest using time_before(timeout, jiffies) as the condition to
wait for, but that doesn't work if called with interrupts disabled.

Shall I go ahead by changing only current patch to mdelay(1). I will also
Incorporate comment #1 given by Arnd above.
