Ok, I will submit a patch for that.

CLKREQ is only mandatory if you wish to support clock power
management. Many boards with a PCI host controller do not support
this.

Ok, that makes sense. Those bits are not explained well in the
IMX8MMRM. As my board's external REFCLK is always enabled that must
gate the clock internally to the host controller block.

I can confirm that asserting those GPR14 bits does resolve my issue:

#define IMX8MM_GPR_PCIE_CLKREQ_OVERRIDE_VAL BIT(11)
#define IMX8MM_GPR_PCIE_CLKREQ_OVERRIDE_EN BIT(10)

/*
* for boards that do not connect CLKREQ#,
* override CLKREQ# and drive it low internally
*/
regmap_update_bits(imx8_phy->iomuxc_gpr, IOMUXC_GPR14,
IMX8MM_GPR_PCIE_CLKREQ_OVERRIDE_VAL, 0);
regmap_update_bits(imx8_phy->iomuxc_gpr, IOMUXC_GPR14,
IMX8MM_GPR_PCIE_CLKREQ_OVERRIDE_EN, 1);

Should this be added as a 'fsl,clkreq-unsupported' flag that needs to
be set true to implement the above code?

Best regards,
