Due to an erratum in the Pericom PI7C9X111SLB bridge in reverse mode the
retrain link bit needs to be cleared again manually to allow the link
training to succeed.
If it is not cleared manually the link training is continuously restarted
and all devices below the PCI-to-PCIe bridge can't be accessed any more.
That means drivers for devices below the bridge will be loaded but won't
work or even crash because the driver is only reading 0xffff.
See also the Pericom Errata Sheet PI7C9X111SLB_errata_rev1.2_102711.pdf.
