device/pciexp_device.c: Do not enable common clock if already active
The Common Clock Configuration (CCC) is a PCIe feature for cases where
the upstream and downstream device of a link share the same reference
clock. After a change in this setting a link re-training is mandatory
to make it effective.
On recent Intel platforms (tested on Elkhart Lake) the FSP code which is
executed before coreboot performs the PCI scan already enumerates all
PCI buses for its internal uses. While this is done, all the PCI express
features of a link are configured, which includes CCC. If the link
supports common clock, FSP performs the link re-training already. When the
execution flow is returned to coreboot, the same link treatment is
applied again (coded in 'pciexp_tune_dev()') and CCC is enabled a second
time, just a few milliseconds after FSP did this already.
Because enabling CCC requires a link re-training, there are two link
re-trainings on the PCIe link within a few milliseconds (one from the FSP
code and one from coreboot) which can lead to issues with a connected
PCIe device on this link. In particular, link issues were discovered
with a Pericom PCIe switch (PI7C9X2G608) on mc_ehl1 where the link has
stalled for a while after the second re-training. This in turn leads to
non-initialized PCI devices on the bus after coreboot has finished.
This patch checks if CCC is already enabled on a link and does not
perform the steps to enable it again in coreboot which safes a link
re-training (and thus execution time) and a potential link stability
issue.
Test=Check log output on mc_ehl1 which shows the following lines:
[DEBUG] PCI: pci_scan_bus for bus 09
[DEBUG] PCI: 09:00.0 [8086/1533] enabled
[INFO ] PCIe: Common Clock Configuration already enabled
