Subject: [PATCH 2/5] PCI: dwc: Add support for retaining link during host
 init

Some platforms keep the PCIe link up across bootloader and kernel
handoff. In such cases, reinitializing the root complex is unnecessary
if the DWC glue drivers wants to retain the PCIe link.

Introduce a link_retain flag in struct dw_pcie_rp to indicate that
the link should be preserved. When this flag is set by DWC glue drivers,
skip dw_pcie_setup_rc() and only initialize MSI, avoiding redundant
configuration steps.
