Subject: [REGRESSION, bisect] pci: artpec-6: imprecise external abort

Hello

Because of recent changes to drivers/pci/host/pcie-artpec6.c,
I was going to try out Bjorn's tag pci-v4.9-changes-2,
however I was greeted by an imprecise external abort:

a git bisect later and the cause appears to be a0601a470537 ("PCI: designware: Add iATU Unroll feature")

the following patch gives me a working system again:

>From the ARTPEC-6 SoC manual:
By default, the PCI Express interface shall be held in reset and clock-gated.
Software is required to enable the relevant modules
(turns on clocks and de-asserts reset) before these modules can be used.

Turning on the clocks and de-asserting reset is done in pp->ops->host_init().
We get an external abort when calling dw_pcie_iatu_unroll_enabled,
since that function does a read from the IP before we are allowed to do
AXI transfers (at least in the ARTPEC-6 case, might be the same for some
other SoCs).

It appears that dw_pcie_iatu_unroll_enabled was actually called _before_
host_init() in v4 of Joao's patch, but was changed to after host_init() in v5,
unfortunately the patch doesn't state a reason for the move.
