[PATCH] PCI: mvebu: Set Target Link Speed for 2.5GT downstream devices

From: Nathan Rossi <nathan.rossi at digi.com>

There is a known issue with the mvebu PCIe controller when triggering
retraining of the link (via Link Control) where the link is dropped
completely causing significant delay in the renegotiation of the link.
This occurs only when the downstream device is 2.5GT and the upstream
port is configured to support both 2.5GT and 5GT.

It is possible to prevent this link dropping by setting the associated
link speed in Target Link Speed of the Link Control 2 register. This
only needs to be done when the downstream is specifically 2.5GT.

This change applies the required Target Link Speed value during
mvebu_pcie_setup_hw conditionally depending on the current link speed
from the Link Status register, only applying the change when the link
is configured to 2.5GT already.
