We don't have internal register bit to trigger link retrain, but need to set
PCI_EXP_LNKCTL_RL bit in Link Control register of PCIe Capabilities Structure.
So, this requires the altera_pcie_cfg_read() and altera_pcie_cfg_write().
I can restructure the altera_pcie_cfg_read() and
altera_pcie_cfg_write() and have
new _altera_pcie_cfg_read() and _altera_pcie_cfg_write() that avoid
the dependency of struct pci_bus. By doing this, we can retrain the link before
pci_scan_root_bus and remove _FIXUP()

Will send new v3 patch, please take a look.
