If I understand correctly, you're saying that LX2160A Rev1.0 will only
work correctly if you have this patch applied AND you boot with
"pci=pcie_bus_perf".

That might be OK if these rev 1.0 parts are only used in the lab and
are never shipped to customers. But if these parts are ever shipped
to customers, I don't think it's acceptable for them to have to figure
out that they must boot with "pci=pcie_bus_perf". Yes, you can
document that in release notes, but it's still a poor user experience,
and users will forget, and they will see mysterious hard-to-debug
issues.

Maybe there's a way for you to automatically set that pcie_bus_perf
mode? With a dmesg note to indicate that you're overriding any mode
the user may have selected?
