This patch missed the v6.19 merge window (and so did the pwrctrl rework series), so as long as Mani queues up both for v6.20 (with the pwrctrl rework series getting applied first), I think we are good.The plan is to merge pwrctrl series to v6.20 (unless we get strong objections), but once that happens, Qcom doesn't need this patch. So it'd be good if you can just limit this patch to just Rockchip. Then once the Rockchip also moves to pwrctrl, we can revert this patch (also the whole IRQ based link up since the Root Port is not hotplug capable).The main reason why I did not like a revert, was because it would remove the nice feature where the bus is enumerated automatically on link up. I assumed that the plan was to add Link Up IRQ support in pwrctrl in the future.
As I dig more and more into pwrctrl, it becomes clear to me that emulating hotplug on non-hotplug capable hw is a bad idea. Though it gives a nice user experience in majority of the cases, it also gives issue in some cases like switch. So pwrctrl will just power on all devices/slots before initial bus scan and will not do any link up based enumeration later. And neither the controller driver.
If that is not the case, and the plan is instead to eventually remove the existing Link Up IRQ support, then perhaps you could simply apply patches from: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/20251111105100.869997-8-cassel@kernel.org/ (local) Either the whole series or just patch 1 and 2, maintainer's choice :)
I tried applying the whole series, but it fails at patch 2. Could you please rebase against, pci/controller/dwc and repost? - Mani -- மணிவண்ணன் சதாசிவம்
