PCI: of: Remove max-link-speed generation validation

The of_pci_get_max_link_speed() function currently validates the
"max-link-speed" DT property to be in the range 1..4 (Gen1..Gen4).
This imposes a maintenance burden because each new PCIe generation
would require updating this validation.

Remove the range check so the function returns the raw property value
(or a negative error code if the property is missing or malformed).
Since the callers are now validating the returned speed against the
range they support, this check can now be safely removed.

Removing the validation from this common function also allows future PCIe
generations to be supported without modifying drivers/pci/of.c.
