This patch series introduces support for retaining the PCIe link across
bootloader and kernel handoff on Qualcomm platforms, specifically
X1E80100. The goal is to reduce boot time and avoid unnecessary link
reinitialization when the link is already up.
We are not enabling link retantion support for all the targets, as there
is no guarantee that the bootloader on all targets has initialized the
PCIe link in max supported speed. So we are enabling for hamoa & glymur
target only for now based on the config flag.
If the link is up and has link_retain is set to true in the
ithe driver config data then enable retain logic in the controller.
In phy as we already have skip init logic, the phy patch uses same
assumption that if there is phy no csr and bootloader has done the init
then driver can skip resetting the phy when phy status indicates it is
up.
Problem:-
1) As part of late init calls of clock the framework is disabling all the
unvoted resources by that time and also there is no sync state to keep
them enabled till the probe is completed. Due to dependencies with
regulators and phy, qcom pcie probe is happening after late init which is
causing the resources(clocks) to be off which causes the link to go down.
To avoid this we need to use this kernel command line argument
(clk_ignore_unused) to skip disabling clocks as part of late init for
initial version. Once it is resolved we can avoid those kernel command
line argument.

Changes in v2:
- Rebased with latest changes
- GENPD/power domains are not longer getting turned off with the latest
kernel, only issue is with the clocks.
- Removed the patch [2/5] PCI: dwc: Add support for retaining link during host init
as we are not seeing much difference with this or without this (Bjorn).
- couple of nits in commit & prints (Mani).
- Remove skip_reset for the long term (Dmitry).
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260109-link_retain-v1-0-7e6782230f4b@oss.qualcomm.com
