I don't think this is the right fix.  This makes it racy because the
link may go down after we call advk_pcie_valid_device() but before we
perform the config read.

I have no objection to removing the "config read/write timed out"
message.  The "return PCIBIOS_SET_FAILED" in the read case probably
should be augmented by setting "*val = 0xffffffff".
