Link Width Negotiation

The PES64H16G2 ports support the optional link variable width negotiation feature outlined in the PCI
Express 2.0 specification. The Maximum Link Width (MAXLNKWDTH) field in a port's PCI Express Link
Capabilities (PCIELCAP) register contains the maximum link width that the port can achieve. This field is of
RWL type and may be modified when the REGUNLOCK bit is set in the SWCTL register. Modification of
this field allows the maximum link width of the port to be configured. The new link width takes effect the next
time full link training occurs.
