QPS615 is the PCIe switch which has one upstream and three downstream
ports. One of the downstream ports is used as endpoint device of Ethernet
MAC. Other two downstream ports are supposed to connect to external
device. One Host can connect to QPS615 by upstream port.

QPS615 switch power is controlled by the GPIO's. After powering on
the switch will immediately participate in the link training. if the
host is also ready by that time PCIe link will established. 

The QPS615 needs to configured certain parameters like de-emphasis,
disable unused port etc before link is established.

The device tree properties are parsed per node under pci-pci bridge in the
devicetree. Each node has unique bdf value in the reg property, driver
uses this bdf to differentiate ports, as there are certain i2c writes to
select particulat port.
 
As the controller starts link training before the probe of pwrctl driver,
the PCIe link may come up before configuring the switch itself.
To avoid this introduce two functions in pci_ops to start_link() &
stop_link() which will disable the link training if the PCIe link is
not up yet.

Now PCI pwrctl device is the child of the pci-pcie bridge, if we want
to enable the suspend resume for pwrctl device there may be issues
since pci bridge will try to access some registers in the config which
may cause timeouts or Un clocked access as the power can be removed in
the suspend of pwrctl driver.

To solve this make PCIe controller as parent to the pci pwr ctrl driver
and create devlink between host bridge and pci pwrctl driver so that
pci pwrctl driver will go suspend only after all the PCIe devices went
to suspend.

Changes in V1:
- Fix the code as per the comments given.
- Removed D3cold D0 sequence in suspend resume for now as it needs
  seperate discussion.
- change to dt approach for configuring the switch instead of request_firmware() approach

This is not a proper changelog entry. It doesn't allow reviewers to
understand what actually happened. Could you please list your actual
changes in a reply and also include them in a changelog if there is a
need for v3.

You did not implement the comments so such changelog is rather a joke.
Respond to each comment from v1 and acknowledge it.

Then write detailed changelog.

changes in v1:
- Instead of referencing whole i2c-bus add i2c-client node and reference 
it (Dmitry)
- Change the regulator's as per the schematics as per offline review
(bjorn Andresson)
- Remove additional host check in bus.c (Bart)
- For stop_link op change return type from int to void (Bart)
- Remove firmware based approach for configuring sequence as suggested
by multiple reviewers.
- Introduce new dt-properties for the switch to configure the switch
as we are replacing the firmware based approach.
- The downstream ports add properties in the child nodes which will
represented in PCIe hierarchy format.
- Removed D3cold D0 sequence in suspend resume for now as it needs
separate discussion.

My bot found new DTB warnings on the .dts files added or changed in this
series.

Some warnings may be from an existing SoC .dtsi. Or perhaps the warnings
are fixed by another series. Ultimately, it is up to the platform
maintainer whether these warnings are acceptable or not. No need to reply
unless the platform maintainer has comments.

If you already ran DT checks and didn't see these error(s), then
make sure dt-schema is up to date:

  pip3 install dtschema --upgrade

This paragraph contradicts with itself. First it says link training starts 
and the link may come up, and then it says opposite, that is, disable the 
link training if the link is not up yet. So which way it is?

If link can come up, why do you need to disable link training at all? 
Cannot you just trigger another link training after the configuration has 
been done so the new configuration is captured? If not, why?
