I'd consider this as a bug since if the LTSSM write gets cached in Write Buffer,
then the polling time becomes wrong in dw_pcie_wait_for_link(), leading to
false link_up failure.

Although both of the write/read (LTSSM in qcom_pcie_2_3_2_ltssm_enable(), and
PCI_EXP_LNKSTA in qcom_pcie_link_up()) belong to PCIe domain, they belong to
different regions (PARF, DBI). So I'm not sure we can safely ignore the write
completion issue. So,
