That's right. The symptoms can vary, i.e. sometimes it retrains with lower
lane count, and sometimes config reads start timing out, and very often
it works just fine.

Yes, I confirm this is a HW erratum. The problem doesn't occur every time, so
"the link may not retrain correctly" would be more correct, but that's a minor
comment.
