Shawn Lin from Rockchip has reiterated that there may be danger in using
their PCIe with 5.0 GT/s speeds. Warn the user if they make a DT change
from the default and at the same time, drive at 2.5 GT/s only, in case
the DT max-link-speed property is invalid or inexistent.
Fixes: 956cd99b35a8 ("PCI: rockchip: Separate common code from RC driver")
