Thanks for the suggestion! I will try to get the platform for test,
and report back.

As for the change, 
	 +		if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_PCIE))
	 +			pcie_capability_clear_word(dev, PCI_EXP_SLTCTL,
	 +				  PCI_EXP_SLTCTL_CCIE | PCI_EXP_SLTCTL_HPIE);

The CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_PCIE is always enabled on our platform and many
distros, I guess the check needs to be removed, which sees the 1 second
waiting again, and need the waiting logic in 1/2 patch?

Thanks,
Feng
