The fu740 PCIe core does not probe any devices on the SiFive Unmatched
board without this fix (or having U-Boot explicitly start the PCIe via
either boot-script or user command). The fix is to start the link at
2.5GT/s speeds and once the link is up then change the maximum speed back
to the default.

The U-Boot driver claims to set the link-speed to 2.5GT/s to get the probe
to work (and U-Boot does print link up at 2.5GT/s) in the following code:

Note, this patch has had significant re-work since the previous 4
sets, including trying to fix style, message, reliance on the U-Boot
fix and the comments about usage of LINK_CAP and reserved fields.

Apologies, it seems I forgot to do "git commit --amend" on the last
file save. I've now sent a "V3"
