[PATCH v1 2/2] PCI: imx6: Assert ref_clk_en after reference clock stabilizes on i.MX95

According to the PHY Databook Common Block Signals section, the
ref_clk_en signal must remain de-asserted until the reference clock is
running at the appropriate frequency. Once the clock is stable,
ref_clk_en can be asserted. For lower power states where the reference
clock to the PHY is disabled, ref_clk_en should also be de-asserted.

Move the ref_clk_en bit manipulation into imx95_pcie_enable_ref_clk()
to ensure the reference clock stabilizes before ref_clk_en is asserted
and before the PHY reset is de-asserted. This aligns with the timing
requirements specified in the PHY documentation.
