PCI: Turn off Request Attributes to avoid Chelsio T5 Completion erratum
The Chelsio T5 has a PCIe compliance erratum that causes Malformed TLP or Unexpected Completion errors in some systems, which may cause device access timeouts. Per PCIe r3.0, sec 2.2.9, "Completion headers must supply the same values for the Attribute as were supplied in the header of the corresponding Request, except as explicitly allowed when IDO is used." Instead of copying the Attributes from the Request to the Completion, the T5 always generates Completions with zero Attributes. The receiver of a Completion whose Attributes don't match the Request may accept it (which itself seems non-compliant based on sec 2.3.2), or it may handle it as a Malformed TLP or an Unexpected Completion, which will probably lead to a device access timeout. Work around this by disabling "Relaxed Ordering" and "No Snoop" in the Root Port so it always generate Requests with zero Attributes. This does affect all other devices which are downstream of that Root Port, but these are performance optimizations that should not make a functional difference. Note that Configuration Space accesses are never supposed to have TLP Attributes, so we're safe waiting till after any Configuration Space accesses to do the Root Port "fixup".
