I initially thought that this issue only affected Tegra20, so I was
prepared to ignore the lack of optimality of this solution, since it
only affects Harmony. However, initial experimentation with Jay's
Tegra30 PCIe patches imply the same issue is present on Tegra30. I need
to do more research to confirm whether it's the same problem or
something else though. If this turns out to be true, we'll have to come
up with a more complex solution, since this current solution would
disable LP2 outright on all currently supported Tegra30 boards:-(
