Maybe, we could live with the existing secondary bus reset API. The speed that
driver wants to reach to is in the target speed field. Quirk can hook up
to the secondary bus reset call, read the target speed field to see what speed
we are trying to negotiate to and override the target speed register based on
upstream and downstream speeds.
