[RFC PATCH 2/3] PCI: Add PCIe Gen 7 (128 GT/s) speed detection and reporting

From: Ionut Nechita (Sunlight Linux)

Date: Tue Feb 17 2026 - 03:03:21 EST


From: Ionut Nechita <ionut_n2001@xxxxxxxxx>

Add kernel infrastructure to detect and report PCIe Gen 7 128 GT/s
link speeds:

- Extend PCIE_LNKCAP_SLS2SPEED, PCIE_LNKCAP2_SLS2SPEED, and
PCIE_LNKCTL2_TLS2SPEED macros with 128 GT/s mapping
- Add 128 GT/s to PCIE_SPEED2MBS_ENC bandwidth calculation using
1:1 Flit mode encoding (no overhead), consistent with Gen 6
- Add PCIE_SPEED_128_0GT to pcie_dev_speed_mbps() switch
- Map link speed encoding 7 to PCIE_SPEED_128_0GT in
pcie_link_speed[] table
- Add "128.0 GT/s PCIe" display string
- Add pcie_speed_requires_flit() helper for Gen 6+ speed
validation with proper range check against PCI_SPEED_UNKNOWN
- Widen pcie_get_supported_speeds() return type from u8 to u16
- Add Flit mode diagnostic warning when Gen 6+ speed is active
but PCI_EXP_LNKSTA2_FLIT is not set
