There is no code to enable the PCIe Relaxed Ordering bit in the configuration space,
it is only be enable by default according to the PCIe Standard Specification, what we
do is to distinguish the RC problematic platform and clear the Relaxed Ordering bit
to tell the PCIe EP don't send any TLPs with Relaxed Ordering Attributes to the Root
Complex.
