[PATCH v2 3/3] PCI: Bail out early for 2.5GT/s devices in PCIe failed link retraining

From: Maciej W. Rozycki
Date: Mon Dec 08 2025 - 14:25:00 EST


There's no point in retraining a failed 2.5GT/s device at 2.5GT/s, so
just don't and return early. While such devices might be unlikely to
implement Link Active reporting, we need to retrieve the maximum link
speed and use it in a conditional later on anyway, so the early check
comes for free.
