[PATCH v6 3/3] PCI: rockchip: drive at 2.5 GT/s, error other speeds

Configure the core to be driven at 2.5 GT/s Link Speed and ignore
any other speed with a warning. Also drop the 5.0 GT/s Link Speed
defines from Rockchip PCIe header.

The reason is that Shawn Lin from Rockchip has reiterated that there
may be danger of "catastrophic failure" in using their PCIe with
5.0 GT/s speeds.

While Rockchip has done so informally without issuing a proper errata,
and the particulars are thus unknown, this may cause data loss or
worse.

This change is corroborated by RK3399 official datasheet [1], which
states maximum link speed for this platform is 2.5 GT/s.
