On my CRD, there is a KBG50ZNS256G.

True ...

TCSR check returns 1. But that is not enough. The PCIe controller needs to
handles some stuff about margining. See the following patchset.

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/20240501163610.8900-3-quic_schintav@quicinc.com/

But even with this, I'm not able to get 4-lanes mode to work (yet).
So it must be something else in the controller driver that is needed.

IIRC, this is the first Qualcomm platform that would support Gen4 with
4-lanes upstream. Maybe I'm wrong.
