Well, do you have a good explanation why the system works with this change
and doesn't work without it on my design ? I'd really love to understand
this.

I thought the ccb_lw_50_to_125 was at +0x40000 in the original design, but I
can't seem to be able to find that. I've been studying multiple PCIe designs
and this notion somehow crawled into my skull. Sorry, please ignore then.
