Description: On systems with high PCIe latency (2us or above), lower bandwidth may be experienced.

Workaround: If such issue is observed:

1. Enable ZTT to overcome the high latency. Run: mlxconfig -d <mst device> set ZERO_TOUCH_TUNING_ENABLE=1

2. Reset or power cycle the firmware for change to take effect
