Yes, it indeed need to stop DMA and interrupts since the endpoint is going to
a dormant state. But not everyone care about PERST# since it will be asserted
by the hw automaticallyt once the SoC goes to a powerdown state. That's what
happening even without this patch. Also, in most of the cases, during host
shutdown/reboot, the power to the endpoint will be cutoff and reapplied
(on reboot). So the endpoint will undergo cold boot and it would work as usual.

But, in some rare cases like the one I'm dealing with, power to the endpoint
device is not coming from the host. The endpoint here is another SoC that works
on its own. It just receives refclk from the host. So in this case, during host
shutdown/reboot, only PERST# will be asserted and refclk will be cutoff, but the
device will be kept powered on. Due to this, the device when it tries to
cleanup the state machine post PERST# assertion, it will crash because refclk
will be cutoff immediately.

And that is what being addressed with this patch.

I should admit that this issue is not very common and that's the reason no one
cared about it so far. Because, on PCs/Laptops, most likely the endpoint device
will be powercycled during reboot.

PERST# assertion I meant. Will change the wording.

Yeah. Will make it explicit.

I'm not 100% sure that Tperst represents the minimum time to keep refclk active.

As I said above, I'm not sure if PERST_DELAY_US corresponds to Tperst. It
predates my work on this driver, but I'll check internally.

I wouldn't say "non spec compliant", but a usecase not addressed properly in the
spec. This Chip to Chip usecase (connecting two SoCs over PCIe bus where one
acting as host and another as endpoint with their own power supply), is not very
popular IMO.
