Re: [RFC] PCI: tegra: Revert raw_violation_fixup for tegra124

Thank you Nicolas for identifying the patch which caused the CmpltTO.

Little background on the fixup,
 In the internal testing with dGPU on Tegra124, CmplTO is reported by
dGPU. This happened because FIFO queue in AFI(AXI to PCIe) module
get full by upstream posted writes. Back to back upstream writes 
interleaved with infrequent reads, triggers RAW violation and CmpltTO.
This is fixed by reducing the posted write credits and by changing
updateFC timer frequency. These settings are fixed after stress test.

In the current case, RTL NIC is also reporting CmplTO. These settings
seems to be aggravating the issue instead of fixing it.

Downstream patch is created after multiple stress tests. I am not sure
why these settings are aggravating the issue instead of fixing it.
I need to reproduce the issue and check if upstream driver is missing
anything else for this issue.
Jetson-TK1 is the only embedded product with Tegra124, it has only
RTL NIC PCIe endpoint soldered on board. I think this revert should
be merged to fix this issue until we find exact root cause.
