Dragan Simic already had warned me of potential issues with 5.0 GT/s
speed operation in Rockchip PCIe. However, in recent interactions
with Shawn Lin from Rockchip it came to my attention there's grave
danger in the unknown errata regarding 5.0 GT/s operational speed
of their PCIe core. Even if the odds are low, to contain any damage,
let's prevent 5.0 GT/s operation as well as add a comment to
Root Complex driver core, documenting this danger of data loss or
worse.

Changes in v2:
- hard limit to 2.5 GT/s, not just warn
- add Reported-by: and Reviewed-by: Dragan Simic
- remove redundant declaration of max-link-speed from helios64 dts

- simplify RC mode comment
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/aRhR79u5BPtRRFw3@geday/
