pci: mvebu: fix the emulation of the status register

The status register of the PCI configuration space of PCI-to-PCI
bridges contain some read-only bits, and so write-1-to-clear bits. So,
the Linux PCI core sometimes writes 0xffff to this status register,
and in the current PCI-to-PCI bridge emulation code of the Marvell
driver, we do take all those 1s being written. Even the read-only bits
are being overwritten.

For now, all the read-only bits should be emulated to have the zero
value.

The other bits, that are write-1-to-clear bits are used to report
various kind of errors, and are never set by the emulated bridge, so
there is no need to support this write-1-to-clear bits mechanism.

As a conclusion, the easiest solution is to simply emulate this status
register by returning zero when read, and ignore the writes to it.

This has two visible effects:

 * The devsel is no longer 'unknown' in, i.e

   Flags: bus master, 66MHz, user-definable features, ?? devsel, latency 0

   becomes:

   Flags: bus master, 66MHz, user-definable features, fast devsel, latency 0

   in lspci -v.

   This was caused by a value of 11b being read for devsel, which is
   an invalid value. This 11b value being read was due to a previous
   write of 0xffff into the status register.

 * The capability list is no longer broken, because we indicate to the
   Linux PCI core that we don't have a Capabilities Pointer in the PCI
   configuration space of this bridge. The following message is
   therefore no longer visible in lspci -v:

   Capabilities: [fc] <chain broken>
