Thanks for your review comments.
There would be a long latency if the link is down and probe is finished
 successfully.
Since the dw_pcie_wait_for_link() would be invoked twice in every driver probe
 and resume operation later. Each dw_pcie_wait_for_link() would consume about
 90,000*10 ~ 100,000*10 u-seconds. I'm afraid that such a long latency would
 bring bad user experience.

Here are the logs when probe is allowed when PCIe link is down:

So, I'm prefer that it's better to let the probe failed when link is down. 
How do you think about that?

Okay. Thanks.
