Richard,

Sorry - spoke too soon. My test was flawed as I still was pinmuxing
CLKREQ in my dt to work around the issue and after removed the above
did not resolve my issue. The setting of OVERRIDE_EN was wrong above
(should not be set to '1' but BIT(10) instead) but this code already
exists in imx6_pcie_enable_ref_clk and is used for IMX8MM per your
patch so this is not the issue.

What makes my board work is to clear GPR14 bit9 (like the NXP kernel
does) so I don't think this bit does what we think it does (select
between internal and ext clk). I think setting it enables clock gating
via CLKREQ#.

This also points out that perhaps the CLKREQ_OVERRIDE logic should be
moved to the new phy driver for IMX8MM.

Best regards,

Tim
