Jocke,

Basically I agree with you, if the clock is different from default, you 
need to set the ratio. T104x indeed uses 1/2 platform clock as PCIe 
clock. I am not sure if P2010 uses the same way. Let me add Roy to this 
thread.

Roy, how do we get PCIe clock for P1/T1 (and other mpc85xx) SoCs? Don't 
we need to set PEX_GCLK_RATIO register? It is not even in the header file.
