Subject: [PATCH v5 14/14] PCI: Remove unused pcie_get_minimum_link()

From: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@...gle.com>

In some cases pcie_get_minimum_link() returned misleading information
because it found the slowest link and the narrowest link without
considering the total bandwidth of the link.  For example, if the path
contained a 16 GT/s x1 link and a 2.5 GT/s x16 link,
pcie_get_minimum_link() returned 2.5 GT/s x1, which corresponds to 250 MB/s
of bandwidth, not the actual available bandwidth of about 2000 MB/s for a
16 GT/s x1 link.

Callers should use pcie_print_link_status() instead, or
pcie_bandwidth_available() if they need more detailed information.
