Thanks for your concerns.
To avoid a corner link down issue, iMX PCIe driver force link up GEN1 speed
firstly, then try to link up the highest speed later with one speed exchange.
So, the dw_pcie_wait_for_link() would be invoked twice in iMX PCIe driver.
Lucas and I try to figure out one method to avoid the long latency when resume
back from suspend mode when link is down and probe is succeed.
