Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 3/3] PCI: qcom: properly implement RC shutdown/power up

"Properly" is a noise word that suggests "we're doing it right this
time" but doesn't hint at what actually makes this better.

Is "power collapse" a technical term specific to this device, or is
there some more common term that could be used?  I assume the fact
that the RC remains powered precludes some lower power state of the
entire SoC?

Just out of curiosity since I'm not a Kconfig expert, what does
"depends on X || X=n" mean?  

I guess it's different from
"depends on (QCOM_COMMAND_DB || !QCOM_COMMAND_DB)", which I also see
used for QCOM_RPMH?

Does this reduce compile testing?  I see COMPILE_TEST mentioned in a
few other QCOM_COMMAND_DB dependencies.

Are these timeout values rooted in some PCIe or Qcom spec?  Would be
nice to have a spec citation or other reason for choosing these
values.

Ditto, some kind of citation would be nice.
