Qualcomm QCA639x is a family of WiFi + Bluetooth chips, with BT part
being controlled through the UART and WiFi being present on PCIe
bus. Both blocks share common power sources wich should be turned on
before either of devices can be probed. Declare common 'qca639x' driver
providing a power domain to be used by both BT and WiFi parts.

Changes since v1:
 - Stopped using wildcard in the dts binding, stick to qcom,qca6390.
 - Stopped using pcie0_phy for qca639x power domain.
 - Describe root PCIe bridge in the dts and bind power domain to the
   bridge.
 - Add pci quirk to power up power domains connected to this bridge.

Ack. I see your point here.

As this would require porting code from powerpc/spark of-pci code and 
changing pcie port driver to apply power supply before bus probing 
happens, I'd also ask for the comments from PCI maintainers. Will that 
solution be acceptable to you?

I can't say without seeing the code.  I don't know enough about this
scenario to envision how it might look.

I guess the QCA6390 is a PCIe device?  Why does it need to be powered
up before probing?  Shouldn't we get a link-up interrupt when it is
powered up so we could probe it then?

Nit: when changing any file, please take a look at the commit history
and make yours match, e.g.,

  pcie-qcom: provide a way to power up qca6390 chip on RB5 platform

does not look like:

  PCI: qcom: Add support for configuring BDF to SID mapping for SM8250
  PCI: qcom: Add SM8250 SoC support
  PCI: qcom: Make sure PCIe is reset before init for rev 2.1.0
  PCI: qcom: Replace define with standard value
  PCI: qcom: Support pci speed set for ipq806x
  PCI: qcom: Add ipq8064 rev2 variant

Also, if you capitalize it as "QCA6390" in the commit log, do it the
same in the subject.

Not quite. QCA6390 is a multifunction device, with PCIe and serial
parts. It has internal power regulators which once enabled will
powerup the PCIe, serial and radio parts. There is no need to manage
regulators. Once enabled they will automatically handle device
suspend/resume, etc.

I'm not sure about link-up interrupt. I've just lightly tested using
PCIe HP on this port, getting no interrupts from it.
If I manually rescan the bus after enabling the qca6390 device (e.g.
via sysfs), it gets enabled, but then I see PCIe link errors (most
probably because the PCIe link was not retrained after the device
comes up).

Oh good, something exists. :)

FYI, there's another similar case needing this that just popped up[1].

So what you're saying is that if either the PCI controller or bluetooth
driver probes these regulators will be turned on, indefinitely?

If so, why do we need a driver to turn them on, rather than just mark
them as always-on?

What's the timing requirement wrt regulators vs WL_EN/BT_EN?

According to the documentation I have, they must be enabled right
after enabling powering the chip and they must stay enabled all the
time.

So presumably just marking these things always-on and flipping the GPIO
statically won't be good enough due to the lack of control over the
timing.

This really do look like a simplified case of what we see with the
PCIe attached modems, where similar requirements are provided, but also
the ability to perform a device specific reset sequence in case the
hardware has locked up. I'm slightly worried about the ability of
extending your power-domain model to handle the restart operation
though.

As Dmitry explained he still need to pull the two GPIOs high after
enabling the regulators, but before scanning the PCI or serdev buses.

I was thinking something along the lines you suggest, but I've not been
able to come up with something that will guarantee the ordering of the
events.

I think it is too late to enable regulators in the WiFi driver. Even
if I modify the/pci code to register devices basing on the OF nodes
(like we do for PPC and Sparc), necessary link training/hotplug
handling should happen outside of the WiFi driver.
