Sorry, I am confused by this sentence.

IIUC, there is no regression regarding the lifting 2.5GT/s restriction in
the commit a89c82249c37 ("PCI: Work around PCIe link training failures").
However, since commit de9a6c8d5dbf ("PCI/bwctrl: Add 
pcie_set_target_speed() to set PCIe Link Speed"), the code to lift the 
restriction is no longer executed. Therefore, commit de9a6c8d5dbf 
("PCI/bwctrl: Add pcie_set_target_speed() to set PCIe Link Speed") can be
considered a regression of commit a a89c82249c37 ("PCI: Work around PCIe
link training failures").

So, this fix patch(PCI: reread the Link Control 2 Register before using) 
is required, right?

Thanks,
