Thanks for this!

The existing pcie_retrain_link() and pcie_wait_for_retrain() both
return bool, but neither is named as a predicate, and it's always a
little hard for me to keep track of what the true/false return values
mean.

I propose tweaking them so they both return 0 for success or
-ETIMEDOUT for failure.  What do you think?  It does make the patch
bigger, which is kind of unfortunate.

    PCI/ASPM: Avoid link retraining race
    
    PCIe r6.0.1, sec 7.5.3.7, recommends setting the link control parameters,
    then waiting for the Link Training bit to be clear before setting the
    Retrain Link bit.
    
    This avoids a race where the LTSSM may not use the updated parameters if it
    is already in the midst of link training because of other normal link
    activity.
    
    Wait for the Link Training bit to be clear before toggling the Retrain Link
    bit to ensure that the LTSSM uses the updated link control parameters.
    
    [bhelgaas: commit log, return 0 (success)/-ETIMEDOUT instead of bool for
    both pcie_wait_for_retrain() and the existing pcie_retrain_link()]
