I think we do need to override it in that case. If both PCIe3a and PCIe3b
are enabled in x4+x4 mode but PCIe3a keeps num-lanes = <8>, userspace
will see an 8-lane slot. If an x8-capable EP is connected to that slot,
both ends will advertise x8 support, but the link is up at x4. That looks
like a genuine bug from the user's point of view.
