I interpret this in a way that the chip triggers some internal LTR
configuration activity if it detects bit PCI_EXP_DEVCTL2_LTR_EN
changing from 0 to 1. And this needed activity isn't triggered
if PCI_EXP_DEVCTL2_LTR_EN is set already and doesn't change.
Hau, is this correct?
So the PCI_EXP_DEVCTL2_LTR_EN reset is some kind of needed quirk.
However PCI quirks are applied too early, before we even detected
the chip version in probe(). Therefore I also think a helper for
this reset in PCI core would be best.
And what hasn't been mentioned yet: We have to skip the chip-specific
LTR configuration if pci_dev->ltr_path isn't set.
