Do you happen to remember any of the endpoints that have issues?

Could save some painful debugging if we trip over this issue on other
systems.  We have seen a few cases where links wouldn't train at full
speed unless they trained at a lower speed first, e.g.,
imx6_pcie_start_link(), fu740_pcie_start_link().  I guess there are
probably lots of edge cases that can cause link failures.
