This domain is just the PHY? Seems like this needs a separate PHY
driver.

No, it's called the PHY power domain, as that is probably the part that
draws the most power, but the PCIe core also looses it's state when this
domain is powered down. So it's probably the complete core that is
inside this domain.

A shared domain doesn't mean the phy and core should be 1 node. It is
the separate reset and clock for the PHY that tell me they should be
separate. And I'm pretty sure the DW block and PHY are separate. If
the PHY registers were part of the same register range, then I'd say
they should be one.

So the difference with i.MX7D is not really that it has a reset or not,
but some platforms use a reset driver and some do not. The latter should
be fixed.

The resets on anything before i.MX7 are not in a separate reset driver,
but are just some signals from the PCIe core wired into a syscon (IOMUX
GPR) area. While we could invent a reset controller for those, I don't
see how this would improve things. Especially as the reset on i.MX6
seems to be some side-effect of the "power-down" signal of the core, so
not strictly a reset.

Also I don't see why we should change the binding for the driver with a
long history of deployed DTs. That seems like a total waste of manpower.

We can debate whether or not we change existing platforms. Maybe that
doesn't make sense now. But best practices should be considered when
adding new bindings rather than just extending existing bindings. We
didn't split out PHYs at one time and now we generally do. I'm not so
concerned with just adding i.MX7D, but really the next chip (and the
next).
