Hi Koen,

Thanks a lot for the fix!

Please run "git log --oneline drivers/pci/dwc/pci-imx6.c" and follow
the style convention, including "PCIe" capitalization.

"fix pcie enumeration" is not very descriptive.  It should say something
about the specific problem, e.g., setting the root port's subordinate
bus number.

Not sure what "RC boots up" means.  Maybe you're talking about a
hardware-defined default value at power-up, or maybe a value
programmed by a boot-loader?  Please clarify and update the similar
comment in the code.

Not just theoretically.  If the bridge is operating correctly, it
should not forward any config transaction for a bus number greater
than the subordinate bus number.

Including a sample error in the changelog might help somebody
suffering from the problem find this solution.

Should have a "Fixes: a20c7f36bd3d ..." tag if that's really the
correct commit.

Add a "CC: stable at vger.kernel.org" after your signed-off-by to handle
this.  But something's wrong because a20c7f36bd3d only appeared in
v4.15-rc1, so either that's the wrong commit or stable kernels don't
need the fix.

This functionality is not related to establishing the link, so I think
it should be put elsewhere, maybe either directly in imx6_pcie_probe()
or in imx6_pcie_host_init().

The DT really should contain a "bus-range" property and
dw_pcie_host_init() will already pay attention to that if it's
present, and I think it defaults to 0-0xff if it's not present.

So I think you should be using pp->busn instead of hard-coding
PCIE_RC_BNR_MAX_SUBORDINATE.
