Atheros AR9xxx and QCA98xx chips do not behave not only after a bus reset
but also after doing retrain link when PCIe bridge is not in GEN1 mode at
2.5 GT/s speed.

QCA9880 and QCA9890 chips throw a Link Down event and completely disappear
from the bus and their config space is not accessible again.

AR9390 chip throws a Link Down event followed by Link Up event, config
space is accessible again, but contains nonsense values. PCI device ID is
0xABCD which indicates HW bug that chip itself was not able to read values
from internal EEPROM/OTP.

AR9287 chip throws also Link Down and Link Up events, also has accessible
config space and moreover its config space contains correct values. But
ath9k driver cannot initialize card from this state as it is unable to
access HW registers. This also indicates that chip iself was not able to
read values from internal EEPROM/OTP.

This issue related to PCI device ID 0xABCD and reading internal EEPROM/OTP
was previously discussed at ath9k-devel mailing list in following thread:

https://www.mail-archive.com/ath9k-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg07529.html

After experiments we come up with workaround that Retrain link can be
called only when using GEN1 PCIe bridge or when PCIe bridge has forced link
speed to 2.5 GT/s via PCI_EXP_LNKCTL2 register.

This issue was reproduced with more cards: Compex WLE900VX (QCA9880 based /
device ID 0x003c), Compex WLE200NX (AR9287 based / device ID 0x002e),
"noname" card (QCA9890 based / device ID 0x003c) and Wistron NKR-DNXAH1
(AR9390 based / device ID 0x0030) on Armada 385 with pci-mvebu.c driver and
also on Armada 3720 with pci-aardvark.c driver.

To workaround this issue, this change introduces a new PCI quirk called
PCI_DEV_FLAGS_NO_RETRAIN_LINK_WHEN_NOT_GEN1 which is enabled for all
Atheros chips with PCI_DEV_FLAGS_NO_BUS_RESET quirk, plus also for Atheros
chip AR9287.

When this quirk is set then kernel disallows triggering PCI_EXP_LNKCTL_RL
bit in config space of PCIe Bridge in case PCIe Bridge is capable of higher
speed than 2.5 GT/s and higher speed is already allowed. When PCIe Bridge
has accessible LNKCTL2 register then kernel tries to force target link
speed via PCI_EXP_LNKCTL2_TLS* bits to 2.5 GT/s. After this change it is
possible to trigger PCI_EXP_LNKCTL_RL bit without causing issues on
problematic Atheros cards.

Currently only PCIe ASPM kernel code triggers this PCI_EXP_LNKCTL_RL bit,
so quirk check is added only into pcie/aspm.c file.

Changes since v1:
* Move whole quirk code into pcie_downgrade_link_to_gen1() function
* Reformat to 80 chars per line where possible
* Add quirk also for cards with AR9287 chip (PCI ID 0x002e)
* Extend commit message description and add information about 0xABCD
