    PCI: Check for PCIe Link downtraining · 2d1ce5ec

    When both ends of a PCIe Link are capable of a higher bandwidth than is
    currently in use, the Link is said to be "downtrained".  A downtrained Link
    may indicate hardware or configuration problems in the system, but it's
    hard to identify such Links from userspace.
    
    Refactor pcie_print_link_status() so it continues to always print PCIe
    bandwidth information, as several NIC drivers desire.
    
    Add a new internal __pcie_print_link_status() to emit a message only when a
    device's bandwidth is constrained by the fabric and call it from the PCI
    core for all devices, which identifies all downtrained Links.  It also
    emits messages for a few cases that are technically not downtrained, such
    as a x4 device in an open-ended x1 slot.

    [bhelgaas: changelog, move __pcie_print_link_status() declaration to
    drivers/pci/, rename pcie_check_upstream_link() to
    pcie_report_downtraining()]
