Newly introduced pcie_get_link_limits() function calculates
maximum available BW through the PCI chain. We can use this
value for mlx5e_get_pci_bw() instead of calculating ourselves.

Why don't you refactor this a little so it calls
pcie_print_link_status() like mlx5 and mlx4?

I think this is the only call of pcie_get_link_limits() outside
drivers/pci, and it seems like a little overkill here since you really
don't need "speed" here.

I wouldn't like to call pcie_print_link_status() if I don't really want to print the status. In this case mlx5e driver needs the PCI bandwidth limitation in order to make a decision. I think it is good that we expose a method to do precisely that.


But I don't understand what's going on with mlx5e_get_max_linkspeed().
It doesn't look like that is actually looking at the PCIe link speed,
so maybe there's something special going on there.

mlx5e_get_max_linkspeed() queries for the port wire speed. mlx5e driver might change some settings (CQE zipping, LRO) in case PCI bandwidth can't support wire speed.

  		return err;
if (speed == PCI_SPEED_UNKNOWN || width == PCIE_LNK_WIDTH_UNKNOWN)
  		return -EINVAL;

-		break;

-		*pci_bw = 8000 * width;
-		break;

-		return -EINVAL;

return 0;
