It would be nice to use a current reference, e.g., PCIe r4.0, sec
6.6.1.

I think this is partly what Lorenzo is getting at, so at the risk of
being repetitious, there should be some connection between the point
where PERST# is deasserted and the point where you sample "jiffies".
Ideally you would sample "jiffies" immediately after the function call
that deasserts PERST#.

I see that you mention this connection in the commit log, but I don't
see a way to easily deduce it from the code.  This looks like the very
first executable statement in the advk driver, so presumably there's
some implicit connection and ordering with the pinctrl driver.
