There is a newer version of this series
[PATCH 09/21] hw/arm/fsl-imx8mp: Add PCIe support
Posted by Bernhard Beschow 1 month ago
Linux checks for the PLLs in the PHY to be locked, so implement a model
emulating that.

Why does this happen? Isn't there some way to make QEMU default to
using the right bus? Otherwise there's likely to be a lot of
user confusion because PCI "doesn't work"...

Yeah, this is really confusing and I forget about it myself. I'd appreciate any hints here.

I'm not sure but I think the PCI bus created last will be used by default 
so maybe swapping the order these are created may help.
