It turned out that on low performance systems the original change can cause lower tx performance. On a N3450-based mini-PC tx performance in iperf3 was reduced from 950Mbps to ~900Mbps. Therefore effectively revert the original change, just use pcie_set_readrq() now instead of changing the PCIe capability register directly.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
