I think the real problem is that the Exynos PCIe phy init
(exynos5433_pcie_phy_init) performs parts of power on procedure, so the
code is mixed. Probably also the phy init could not happen earlier due
to gated clocks (ungated in exynos5433_pcie_phy_power_on).

I would prefer to clean it up while ordering init+power_on, so figure
out more or less correct procedure.

You can also look at Artpec-8 PHY - it seems using correct order
(init+reset):
