A recent commit 5c5fb40de8f14391a1238db05cef88754faf9229 stated:

    PCI: imx6: Add support for active-low reset GPIO

    We previously used of_get_named_gpio(), which ignores the OF flags cell, so
    the reset GPIO defaulted to "active high." This doesn't work on the Toradex
    Apalis SoM with Ixora base board, which has an active-low reset GPIO.

    Use devm_gpiod_get_optional() instead so we pay attention to the active
    high/low flag.  This also adds support for GPIOs described via ACPI.

The (now replaced) code doesn't support the above:

+        gpiod_set_value_cansleep(imx6_pcie->reset_gpio, 1);
     }
     return 0;

If the reset_gpio setup code had ignored the flags (haven't checked
that), then clearly the resets were active-low (most reset lines are,
because they can be then driven with open-drain/collector output).
The gpiod_set_value*(0) activates reset, gpiod_set_value(1) -
deactivates.

Now we're told the setup code is now level-aware, but the above sequence
thus _deactivates_ reset for 100 ms, then _activates_ it again. It has
no chance to work, unless a board has a broken DTS file. A quick grep
shows that about half the IMX6 boards specify an active-low PCIe reset,
4 ask for active-high, and another 4 don't bother.


I wonder if all boards (except maybe that Toradex set) use an active-low
PCIe reset and are now broken. Perhaps Toradex uses active-high and thus
works.

I'm not fixing individual DTS files because I don't really know, though
perhaps we should change them all to "active-low", since it would work
the same as before the 5c5fb40de8f14391a1238db05cef88754faf9229 change.

Confirmed to fix Gateworks Laguna GW54xx.
Without the patch, the following happens (as expected):

PCI host bridge /soc/pcie at 0x01000000 ranges:
  No bus range found for /soc/pcie at 0x01000000, using [bus 00-ff]

  MEM 0x01000000..0x01efffff -> 0x01000000
