Commit 610fa91d9863 ("PCI: imx6: Assert PERST# before enabling regulators")
introduced a boot hang on i.MX6Q/DL variants by changing the initialization
sequence.
The issue stems from coupling PHY power (TEST_PD) and reference clock
(REF_CLK_EN) control in imx6q_pcie_enable_ref_clk(). When these are
managed together, the timing between PHY power-up and reference clock
enablement cannot be properly controlled, leading to initialization
failures.
Fix this by separating the two concerns:
- Move PHY power control (TEST_PD) to imx6q_pcie_core_reset() where it
logically belongs with reset operations. This ensures PHY power state
is managed as part of the core reset sequence.
- Update imx6qp_pcie_core_reset() to call imx6q_pcie_core_reset() for
shared PHY power management, avoiding code duplication.
- Make imx6q_pcie_enable_ref_clk() responsible only for reference clock
(REF_CLK_EN) control, simplifying its purpose.
- Remove the 10us delay workaround from imx6q_pcie_enable_ref_clk() as
proper sequencing is now handled by the core_reset functions.
This refactoring ensures PHY power is controlled during reset
operations, fixing the boot hang while improving code maintainability.

Changes in v2:
Regarding sashiko's reivew, invoke imx_pcie_assert_core_reset() explicitly
in error path of imx_pcie_host_init() and imx_pcie_host_exit().
