I agree, that we should not do this unconditionally in all cases,
without the option for users to disable this. Or even have it disabled
by default for most boards.

I'm not sure if we should name this "workaround" ASM2824, even though
it's currently (only) targeted exactly for this PCIe switch. It might
be helpful for other PCIe switches as well. So perhaps it's better to
give this function a more generic name instead? With this change, it
makes perhaps also sense to keep this function in pci_auto.c but also
rename the Kconfig option to some more generic version.

Another comment below...

"to enable link training failures" sound misleading IMHO. Perhaps somthing
like this is better:

"...to enable link re-training upon failures for PCIe switches. This
seems to be helpful on the ASMedia ASM2824 PCIe switch."

Thanks,
