[PROBLEM]: pcie imx6 link problem after a random number of reboot

[Ivan Grimaldi]

Hi,

 I am having a problem with the iMX6 PCIe bus working, after a random
number of reboots i have a problem with pci link (below the kenel
log), the link is up but still in training.

The hardware and software configuration is the following:
1) Linux kernel 3.18.26
2) Custom board based on IMX6DL SoC
