I agree with Rob Herring's suggestion.

Please, check the following code of Exynos PCIe diver.

./drivers/pci/host/pci-exynos.c

static int exynos_pcie_establish_link(struct pcie_port *pp)
{
	struct exynos_pcie *exynos_pcie = to_exynos_pcie(pp);
	void __iomem *elbi_base = exynos_pcie->elbi_base;
	void __iomem *pmu_base = exynos_pcie->pmu_base;

	if (dw_pcie_link_up(pp)) {
		dev_err(pp->dev, "Link already up\n");
		return 0;
	}
	.....

In the case of Exynos PCIe, the Exynos PCIe driver checks the
h/w bit such as PCIE_ELBI_LTSSM_ENABLE bit of PCIE_ELBI_RDLH_LINKUP
offset register.

If the link is already set up by the boot loader or other reasons,
the driver will skip some initialization codes.

The first step is that you find such h/w bit for checking link up.
If so, please add the code for skipping, when the link is already
set up.

Best regards,
Jingoo Han
