[PATCH V7 04/13] PCI: imx6: Assert PERST# before enabling regulators
From: Sherry Sun
Date: Mon Mar 09 2026 - 21:59:15 EST
According to the PCIe initialization requirements, PERST# signal should
be asserted before applying power to the PCIe device, and deasserted
after power and reference clock are stable.
Currently, the driver enables the vpcie3v3aux regulator in
imx_pcie_probe() before PERST# is asserted in imx_pcie_host_init(),
which violates the PCIe power sequencing requirements. However, there
is no issue so far because PERST# is requested as GPIOD_OUT_HIGH in
imx_pcie_probe(), which guarantees that PERST# is asserted before
enabling the vpcie3v3aux regulator.
This is a preparation patch for the upcoming changes that will parse the
reset property using the new Root Port binding, which will use
GPIOD_ASIS when requesting the reset GPIO. With GPIOD_ASIS, the GPIO
state is not guaranteed, so explicit sequencing is required.
Fix the power sequencing by:
1. Moving vpcie3v3aux regulator enable from probe to
imx_pcie_host_init(), where it can be properly sequenced with PERST#.
2. Moving imx_pcie_assert_perst() before regulator and clock enable to
ensure correct ordering.
The vpcie3v3aux regulator is kept enabled for the entire PCIe controller
lifecycle and automatically disabled on device removal via devm cleanup.
