I don't think so. Here is what T1042 says about this:

The PCI Express controller clock frequency is one-half the platform clock frequency.

The PCI Express controller core clock ratio register is used to program the ratio of the
actual PCI Express controller clock frequency to the default controller core frequency
( 333 MHz ). This is required only when a PCI Express controller clock frequency other
than the default 333 MHz has to be used.
As an example of programming PEX_GCLK_RATIO, consider the case where the actual
PCI Express controller clock is 250 MHz, the ratio of the actual clock to the default clock
( 333 MHz) is 3:4. that is, the default core clock has to be multiplied by the ratio (3/4,
which is equivalent to 12/16). So the register has to be programmed with the decimal
numerator value 12 or 0x0000_000C.

Our CCB is 250 MHz so this should be set to 0xc.

I found this on Google too:
The PEX controller hardware requires for timing tuning in order to operate properly at given CCB/2 clock
frequency. PEX_GCLK_RATIO register controls this tuning with 333MHz/16 granularities. So for given CCB
frequency Fccb [MHz] we must write to PEX_GCLK_RATIO nearest integer of ((Fccb/2)/(333/16)). So for Fccb=375
we have to write 18.
