I thought that for GEN3 and beyond equalization was *required* - with only
phases 2 and 3 being optional. Therefore I'm suprised to see that if
equalization does fail we continue to train the link anyway. Have I
understood this correctly?

Also are there any plans to provide patches to use this quirk on any
drivers?

I understand. I think the repetition is prefered over needlessly reading and
writing registers.

Given these quirks are so similar, I wouldn't have a problem with them being
in the same patch.
