Subject: [PATCH v2] phy: freescale: imx8m-pcie: fix pcie link-up instability

From: Marcel Ziswiler <[email protected]>

On the i.MX 8M Mini, the AUX_PLL_REFCLK_SEL has to be left at its reset
default of AUX_IN (PLL clock).

Background Information:
In our automated testing setup, we use Delock Mini-PCIe SATA cards [1].
While this setup has proven very stable overall we noticed upstream on
the i.MX 8M Mini fails quite regularly (about 50/50) to bring up the
PCIe link while with NXP's downstream BSP 5.15.71_2.2.2 it always works.
As that old downstream stuff was quite different, I first also tried
NXP's latest downstream BSP 6.1.55_2.2.0 which from a PCIe point of view
is fairly vanilla, however, also there the PCIe link-up was not stable.
Comparing and debugging I noticed that upstream explicitly configures
the AUX_PLL_REFCLK_SEL to I_PLL_REFCLK_FROM_SYSPLL while working
downstream [2] leaving it at reset defaults of AUX_IN (PLL clock).
Unfortunately, the TRM does not mention any further details about this
register (both for the i.MX 8M Mini as well as the Plus).
NXP confirmed their validation codes for the i.MX8MM PCIe doesn't
configure cmn_reg063 (offset: 0x18C).
BTW: On the i.MX 8M Plus we have not seen any issues with PCIe with the
exact same setup which is why I left it unchanged.

Changes in v2:
- Reword the commmit message.
- Meld the background information from the cover letter into the commit
message as suggested by Fabio. Thanks!
- Document NXP's confirmation from their validation codes and add
Richard Zhu's reviewed-by. Thanks!

This does not apply on phy/fixes, pls rebase

Sorry, but it is slightly confusing whether v1 or v2 now got applied. I believe v1 but then only the commit
messages differ. However, please note that only v2 included information on how to proceed concerning
backporting to stable 6.1.x.

Thanks!
