Bjorn,

I don't know what the general consensus is here. As your the PCI
maintainer I would leave that up to you. Are there other platforms
that need to link at a lesser capability than the host controller is
capable of? I am only aware of the IMX6 and SPEAr13XX [1]

I can make that change and re-submit if you feel that is necessary.

I can add that in a v3 patch.
