Hi Tomasz,

yes, the problematic chipsets are 9880 and 9890. Forcing link to PCIe
1.0 did not help on Turris Mox.
After weeks of playing with the card I discovered that it could be
solved by tweaking the length of the PERST signal (reset-gpios) in the
aardvark driver. This is how I made it work on 4.14 on Turris Mox. On
4.19 it is not needed, but with the new patches by Miquel Raynal which
will be in kernel 5.2 or 5.3 (adding support for suspend/resume) this
again breaks, because the PERST signal is manipulated differently. I
did not solve this issue, but I think it will again be done via the
PERST signal.
