True, but right now, the pci-bus.yaml prevents it, as it allows just 
one reset GPIO[1]:

  reset-gpios:
    description: GPIO controlled connection to PERST# signal
    maxItems: 1

[1] https://github.com/robherring/dt-schema/blob/master/schemas/pci/pci-bus.yaml

If the schema will be changed to allow multiple reset-gpios, It should
be possible to keep this at the pcie-kirin.c driver with something like:

	static int kirin_pcie_power_on(struct kirin_pcie *kirin_pcie)
	{
		int ret;

		ret = phy_init(kirin_pcie->phy);
		if (ret)
			return ret;

		ret = phy_power_on(kirin_pcie->phy);

                /* perst assert Endpoints */
                usleep_range(21000, 23000);
                for (i = 0; i < phy->n_gpio_resets; i++) {
                        ret = gpio_direction_output(phy->gpio_id_reset[i], 1);
                        if (ret) {
				phy_power_off(kirin_pcie->phy);
                                return ret;
			}
                }
                usleep_range(10000, 11000);

		return phy_reset(kirin_pcie->phy);
	}

This would work for both 960 - where phy_reset() is not needed,
and for 970, where it would set the eye diagram for the PHY.

Should I send a patch for pci-bus.yaml via github?

Thanks,
