Oh, and this sets PCIE_LTSSM_ENABLE_ENHANCE | PCIE_LTSSM_APP_DLY2_EN
once at probe-time, but what about after a link-down/link-up cycle?

Don't we need to set PCIE_LTSSM_ENABLE_ENHANCE |
PCIE_LTSSM_APP_DLY2_EN again when the link comes up so we don't have
the same race when the link goes down again?
