I don't see a 'pcie_get_minimum_link()' function in my current tree
(git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/helgaas/pci.git "next"
branch).  Maybe seeing your patch (with the debug prints) would give
me a hook for somewhere to start looking.

Can you figure out why lspci shows the correct value and this kernel
interface does not?  The current lspci source is in
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/pciutils/pciutils.git and the
relevant code is probably in cap_express_link() here:
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/utils/pciutils/pciutils.git/tree/ls-caps.c#n750
