[PATCH 1/2] PCI: meson: Fix PERST# timing by asserting reset before LTSSM enable
From: Gowtham Kudupudi
Date: Sun Jun 14 2026 - 00:11:01 EST
On warm reboot, the PCIe controller's LTSSM starts link training
immediately if PERST# is already deasserted from the previous boot.
The driver then pulses PERST# for only 500us, which is too short to
properly reset the endpoint device that has already started training.
Fix by moving the PERST# assert/deassert pulse BEFORE enabling LTSSM,
so the endpoint gets a clean reset cycle before link training begins.
This was found on Amlogic G12B (A311D) with NVMe on an M.2 slot.
Cold boot worked because POR held PERST# low; warm reboot did not.
The fix was confirmed on a Banana Pi CM4 with Waveshare IO base board.
