In recent interactions with Shawn Lin from Rockchip it came to my
attention there's an unknown errata regarding 5.0 GT/s operational
speed of their PCIe core. According to Shawn there's grave danger
even if the odds are low. To contain any damage, let's cover the
remaining corner-cases where the default would lead to 5.0 GT/s
operation as well as add a comment to Root Complex driver core,
documenting this danger.


I'm not sure just adding a warn would be a good choice. Could we totally
force to use gen1 and add a warn if trying to use Gen2.

Meanwhile amend the commit message to add a reference
of RK3399 official datesheet[1] which says PCIe on RK3399 should only
support 2.5GT/s?
