My experience with that WLE900VX card, aardvark driver and aspm code:

Link training in GEN2 mode for this card succeed only once after reset.
Repeated link retraining fails and it fails even when aardvark is
reconfigured to GEN1 mode. Reset via PERST# signal is required to have
working link training.

What I did in aardvark driver: Set mode to GEN2, do link training. If
success read "negotiated link speed" from "Link Control Status Register"
(for WLE900VX it is 0x1 - GEN1) and set it into aardvark. And then
retrain link again (for WLE900VX now it would be at GEN1). After that
card is stable and all future retraining (e.g. from aspm.c) also passes.

If I do not change aardvark mode from GEN2 to GEN1 the second link
training fails. And if I change mode to GEN1 after this failed link
training then nothing happen, link training do not success.

So just speculation now... In current setup initialization of card does
one link training at GEN2. Then aspm.c is called which is doing second
link retraining at GEN2. And if it fails then below patch issue third
link retraining at GEN1. If A38x/pci-mvebu has same problem as aardvark
then second link retraining must be at GEN1 (not GEN2) to workaround
this issue.

Bjorn, Toke: what about trying to hack aspm.c code to never do link
retraining at GEN2 speed? And always force GEN1 speed prior link
training?
