Tomasz Maciej Nowak 772258044b mvebu: reduce speed to gen1 for espressobin pcie
Since the beginning there's been an issue with initializing the Atheros
based MiniPCIe wireless cards. Here's an example of kerenel log:

 OF: PCI: host bridge /soc/pcie@d0070000 ranges:
 OF: PCI:   MEM 0xe8000000..0xe8ffffff -> 0xe8000000
 OF: PCI:    IO 0xe9000000..0xe900ffff -> 0xe9000000

The same happens for ath5k cards, while ath10k card didn't appear at
all (not detected):

 OF: PCI: host bridge /soc/pcie@d0070000 ranges:
 OF: PCI:   MEM 0xe8000000..0xe8ffffff -> 0xe8000000
 OF: PCI:    IO 0xe9000000..0xe900ffff -> 0xe9000000
 advk-pcie d0070000.pcie: link never came up
 advk-pcie d0070000.pcie: PCI host bridge to bus 0000:00
 pci_bus 0000:00: root bus resource [bus 00-ff]

 pci_bus 0000:00: root bus resource [io  0x0000-0xffff](bus address[0xe9000000-0xe900ffff])
 advk-pcie d0070000.pcie: config read/write timed out

Following the issue on esppressobin.net forum [1] the workaround seems
to be limiting the speed of PCIe bridge to 1st generation. This fixed
the initialisation of all tested Atheros wireless cards.

The change shouldn't affect the performance for wireless cards,
it could reduce the performance of storage controller cards but since
OpenWrt focuses on wireless connectivity, fixing compatibility with
wireless cards should be a priority.

For the record, the iwlwifi and mt76 cards were not affected by this
issue.

This is the buildsystem for the OpenWrt Linux distribution.

Please use "make menuconfig" to choose your preferred
configuration for the toolchain and firmware.

You need to have installed gcc, binutils, bzip2, flex, python, perl, make,
find, grep, diff, unzip, gawk, getopt, subversion, libz-dev and libc headers.

Run "./scripts/feeds update -a" to get all the latest package definitions
defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default respectively
and "./scripts/feeds install -a" to install symlinks of all of them into
package/feeds/.

Use "make menuconfig" to configure your image.

Simply running "make" will build your firmware.
It will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain, 
the kernel and all choosen applications.

To build your own firmware you need to have access to a Linux, BSD or MacOSX system
(case-sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin will not be supported because of
the lack of case sensitiveness in the file system.
