I'm guessing on why you may want to do a secondary bus reset instead of just
retrain bit in the PCI Express Capabilities register...

The maximum link speed is embedded into the TS1s that are exchanged during
initial link training. 

If device only advertises gen1 during boot, no matter what you do with retrain
bit link may not reach to gen3.

A lot of guess here.
