This v5 of the patch series is based on v4 sent by Lucas Kannebley Tavares
with a few changes:

  1. Fix a compilation warning on the code from the first patch, where it was
missing a declaration of struct pci_host_bridge, used on the definition of
the function pointer pcibios_root_bridge_prepare() in
arch/powerpc/include/asm/machdep.h.
  2. Incorporate some changes proposed by Tony Breeds in
pseries_root_bridge_prepare().

The following description of the changes was extrated from v4:

This patch series does:
  1. max_bus_speed is used to set the device to gen2 speeds
  2. on power there's no longer a conflict between the pseries call and other
architectures, because the overwrite is done via a ppc_md hook
  3. radeon is using bus->max_bus_speed instead of drm_pcie_get_speed_cap_mask
for gen2 capability detection

The first patch consists of some architecture changes, such as adding a hook on
powerpc for pci_root_bridge_prepare, so that pseries will initialize it to a
function, while all other architectures get a NULL pointer. So that whenever
pci_create_root_bus is called, we'll get max_bus_speed properly setup from
OpenFirmware.

The second patch consists of simple radeon changes not to call
drm_get_pcie_speed_cap_mask anymore. I assume that on x86 machines,
the max_bus_speed property will be properly set already.

Kleber Sacilotto de Souza (2):
  ppc64: perform proper max_bus_speed detection
  radeon: use max_bus_speed to activate gen2 speeds
