I'd like to make forward progress on this, so I propose we merge only
the PCI core change (patch 1/9) and drop the individual driver
changes. That would mean:
- We'll get a message from every NIC driver that calls
pcie_print_link_status() as before.
- We'll get a new message from the core for every downtrained link.
- If a link leading to the NIC is downtrained, there will be
duplicate messages. Maybe that's overkill but it's not terrible.
I provisionally put the patch below on my pci/enumeration branch.
Objections?
commit c870cc8cbc4d79014f3daa74d1e412f32e42bf1b

PCI: Check for PCIe Link downtraining
When both ends of a PCIe Link are capable of a higher bandwidth than is
currently in use, the Link is said to be "downtrained". A downtrained Link
may indicate hardware or configuration problems in the system, but it's
hard to identify such Links from userspace.
Refactor pcie_print_link_status() so it continues to always print PCIe
bandwidth information, as several NIC drivers desire.
Add a new internal __pcie_print_link_status() to emit a message only when a
device's bandwidth is constrained by the fabric and call it from the PCI
core for all devices, which identifies all downtrained Links. It also
emits messages for a few cases that are technically not downtrained, such
as a x4 device in an open-ended x1 slot.
