Intel I350 mini-PCIe card (igb) on Mirabox (mvebu / Armada 370)

[Neil Greatorex]

Jason, Thomas,

With the help you've given, I think I've identified what the problem is. 
It is basically what Thomas suggested the problem was (that he'd seen with 
the Armada 38x). The call to mvebu_pcie_set_local_dev_nr causes the PCIe 
link to reset. In my tests with this Intel card, it takes ~25ms for the 
link to go down, and then another ~13ms for it to come back up.

I have put together a patch below that I would be interested to get your 
opinions on and also for you to test against any cards you may have. I 
only have the one mini PCIe card so it's not a great test!

With my card, it is now detected correctly, and there are no issues when 
rescanning the PCI bus.

Cheers,
Neil

Subject: [PATCH] PCI: mvebu: Wait for PCIe link to reset after setting
  device number

After setting the local device nr, the PCIe link may go down briefly. If 
we don't wait for the link to come back up we may miss that device when we 
scan the bus (assuming it is not present).

This patch waits up to 40ms for the link to go down, and if it did go down,
waits up to 100ms for it to come back up. If the link was down to begin with,
it will not wait at all.
