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:

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

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.
