Subject: Re: [PATCH v7 5/8] phy: freescale: pcie: Initialize the imx8 pcie
 standalone phy driver

Hi Richard,

I've run into an issue that appears to indicate a functional difference
between the existing integrated pci-imx6.c implementation and this new
implementation with the separate phy driver.

I'm working with a SOM and baseboard from Phytec that is based on the
IMX8MM. The board does not have an external PCIe clock and has a
ethernet controller hanging off the PCIe bus.

When booting from a 5.4 NXP-based kernel from Phytec the ethernet
controller is probed and functions as expected.

A co-worker backported a slightly earlier version of this patchset to
5.10.[1] With our kernel both the controller driver and new PHY driver
are probed, but a timeout occurs in dw_pcie_wait_for_link() which
indicates that the "Phy link never came up".

After reproducing this issue I configured pcie_phy with
IMX8_PCIE_REFCLK_PAD_OUTPUT. With that configured, phy register
CMN_REG062/0x188 matches the 5.4 NXP/Phytec kernel. I then compared the
controller and PHY registers between the two kernels and noticed that
CMN_REG063/0x18c is set to AUX_IN/0x0 in the 5.4 NXP/Phytec kernel, but
the new PHY driver writes I_PLL_REFCLK_FROM_SYSPLL/0xc0 to that register.

If I modify the phy driver to not write I_PLL_REFCLK_FROM_SYSPLL/0xc0
then the system behaves as expected.

Best,
Philip

[1]: I plan on rebasing our branch with the latest patches that have
been applied upstream. Note that I did not see any difference in the
following code with what we have applied.

If I comment out this writel() then the register defaults to 0x0/AUX_IN
and then the system behaves as expected.
