Subject: [PATCH v2] PCI: aardvark: Update comment about disabling link training

It is not HW bug or workaround for some cards but it is requirement by PCI
Express spec. After fundamental reset is needed 100ms delay prior enabling
link training. So update comment in code to reflect this requirement.
