Heiner, ideally commit message should not be about 'your' system
but describe what the system actually is. This would be more useful down
the road.

Based on Yu Tu feedback I'd propose

'
The PCIe PLL locking may be unreliable under some circumstance, such as
high or low temperature. If the PLL fails to lock, reset it a try again.

This helps on the S905X4
'

If this is OK with you, I can amend the message before applying the
patch, or you may resubmit. As you wish.
