The Supported Link Speeds Vector in the Link Capabilities 2 Register
indicates the *supported* link speeds. The Max Link Speed field in the
Link Capabilities Register indicates the *maximum* of those speeds.
pcie_get_supported_speeds() neglects to honor the Max Link Speed field and
will thus incorrectly deem higher speeds as supported. Fix it.
One user-visible issue addressed here is an incorrect value in the sysfs
attribute "max_link_speed".
But the main motivation is a boot hang reported by Niklas: Intel JHL7540
"Titan Ridge 2018" Thunderbolt controllers supports 2.5-8 GT/s speeds,
but indicate 2.5 GT/s as maximum. Ilpo recalls seeing this on more
devices. It can be explained by the controller's Downstream Ports
supporting 8 GT/s if an Endpoint is attached, but limiting to 2.5 GT/s
if the port interfaces to a PCIe Adapter, in accordance with USB4 v2
sec 11.2.1:
"This section defines the functionality of an Internal PCIe Port that
interfaces to a PCIe Adapter. [...]
The Logical sub-block shall update the PCIe configuration registers
with the following characteristics: [...]
Max Link Speed field in the Link Capabilities Register set to 0001b
(data rate of 2.5 GT/s only).
Note: These settings do not represent actual throughput. Throughput
is implementation specific and based on the USB4 Fabric performance."
The present commit is not sufficient on its own to fix Niklas' boot hang,
but it is a prerequisite: A subsequent commit will fix the boot hang by
enabling bandwidth control only if more than one speed is supported.
The GENMASK() macro used herein specifies 0 as lowest bit, even though
the Supported Link Speeds Vector ends at bit 1. This is done on purpose
to avoid a GENMASK(0, 1) macro if Max Link Speed is zero. That macro
would be invalid as the lowest bit is greater than the highest bit.
Ilpo has witnessed a zero Max Link Speed on Root Complex Integrated
Endpoints in particular, so it does occur in practice. (The Link
Capabilities Register is optional on RCiEPs per PCIe r6.2 sec 7.5.3.)

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
