I think that code would be more readable as something like:

  if (dev->link_active_reporting)
    wait_for_link_active(dev);
  msleep(delay);

Obviously we still want the printks and error/timeout checking, but
fundamentally we want to wait for the link to be active (if possible),
then wait the 100ms.  That structure isn't as clear as it could be
when the delay is buried inside pcie_wait_for_link_delay().

It's not completely trivial to restructure it like that because of
pcie_wait_for_link() and its callers.  But I think it's worth pushing
on it a little bit to see if it could be done reasonably.

This does expose the fact that per spec, a hot-plug capable port that
supports only 5 GT/s must support link_active_reporting, but sec 6.6.1
says we *don't* need to wait for link training to complete before
waiting 100ms.  So maybe we end up waiting slightly more than
necessary.  Probably not worth worrying about?
