** Description changed:

  SRU Justification
  
  [Impact]
  
  NVIDIA Collective Communication Library software uses sysfs to report
  performance statistics.  Users have reported entries showing "Unknown
  speed" when they should be reporting "32 GT/s".
  
  Example:
  "<pci busid="0000:0c:00.0" class="0x020700" vendor="0x15b3" device="0x1021" 
subsystem_vendor="0x15b3" subsystem_device="0x0082" link_speed="Unknown speed" 
link_width="16">"
  
  PCIe 5.0 supports 32 GT/s and is available in the 5.4 kernel, but the
  patches for properly reporting speeds in sysfs are missing.  The
  following upstream patches add the reporting capability.
  
  https://lore.kernel.org/linux-
  pci/20200229030706.17835-1-helg...@kernel.org/
  
  [Test Plan]
  
  Testing these speeds requires special hardware. A Test kernel with these
  patches applied was provided to the customer and they confirmed the
  proper numbers are reported.
  
  [Where problems could occur]
  
  Changes are for reporting info so chance of problems should be low.  If
- a problem did occur it would be with sysfs or pcie driver.
+ a problem did occur it would be with sysfs or pcie driver misreporting
+ speeds.
