Can I keep "NO_ST" instead of switching over to "ST_NONE"? First, it
matches with PCIe spec. Secondly, IMO "ST_NONE" implies no ST support at
all.

Will change

Yes. In V1 review, Alex Williamson and Jonathan Cameron asked not to
change these definitions as they might be used by existing software.

Can you elaborate here? In CTRL register, "ST Mode Select" is defined as
a 2-bit field. The possible values are 0, 1, 2. But in CAP register, the
modes are individual bit masked. So I cannot use CTRL definitions in CAP
register directly unless I do shifting.
