Tal's original patch did have a pci_warn() here, and we went back and
forth a bit. They get bug reports when a device doesn't perform as
expected, which argues for pci_warn(). But they also got feedback
saying warnings are a bit too much, which argues for pci_info() [1]
I don't have a really strong opinion either way. I have a slight
preference for info because the user may not be able to do anything
about it (there may not be a faster slot available), and I think
distros are usually configured so a warning interrupts the smooth
graphical boot.
It looks like mlx4, fm10k, and ixgbe currently use warnings, while
bnx2x, bnxt_en, and cxgb4 use info. It's a tie so far :)

Here's a proposal for printing the bandwidth as "x.xxx Gb/s":

PCI: Add pcie_print_link_status() to log link speed and whether it's limited
Add pcie_print_link_status(). This logs the current settings of the link
(speed, width, and total available bandwidth).
If the device is capable of more bandwidth but is limited by a slower
upstream link, we include information about the link that limits the
device's performance.
The user may be able to move the device to a different slot for better
performance.
This provides a unified method for all PCI devices to report status and
issues, instead of each device reporting in a different way, using
different code.
