[PATCH 1/2] PCI: Correct error reporting with PCIe failed link retraining

From: Maciej W. Rozycki
Date: Fri Feb 09 2024 - 20:44:22 EST


Only return successful completion status from `pcie_failed_link_retrain'
if retraining has actually been done, preventing excessive delays from
being triggered at call sites in a hope that communication will finally
be established with the downstream device where in fact nothing has been
done about the link in question that would justify such a hope.

Fixes: a89c82249c37 ("PCI: Work around PCIe link training failures")
