How to enable PCIex1 function on Raspberry Pi 5?

• Modify /boot/config.txt and adding following parameters:

dtparam=pciex1
dtparam=pciex1_gen=3

• Enable auto detection PCIe and booting from NVME.

sudo rpi-eeprom-config --edit

Adding following parts:

PCIE_PROBE=1
BOOT_ORDER=0xf416 

The 6 means to enable booting from nvme. Reboot Raspberry Pi 5 and try to use `lsblk` or `lspci -vvv` to get more details of the PCIe device.
