[PATCH] PCI: qcom: Handle mixed PERST#/PHY DT configuration

From: Qiang Yu

Date: Fri May 08 2026 - 06:00:30 EST


The driver currently supports two PERST# and PHY DT configuration. In one
case, PHY, PERST#, are described in the RC node. In the other case, they
are described in the RP node.

A mixed setup is not supported. One common example is PHY on the RP node
while PERST# remains on the RC node. In that case the driver goes through
the RP parse path, does not find PERST# on RP, and does not report an
error because PERST# is optional. Probe can then succeed silently while
PERST# is left uncontrolled, and PCIe endpoints fails to work later. This
silent probe success makes debugging difficult.

Handle this mixed case in the RP parse path by checking whether PERST# is
present on RC and, if so, using the RC PERST# GPIO for RP ports while
keeping RP parsing for PHY. Emit a warning to indicate mixed DT content so
it can be fixed.

This keeps mixed systems functional and makes the configuration issue
visible instead of failing later at endpoint bring-up.
