The imx6q suspend/resume is broken on 3.16-rc due to PCIe

Hi Lucas,

I found that imx6q suspend/resume is broken on 3.16-rc, and it works
just fine if PCIe support is built out.  However the issue was not
exposed on 3.15, so I suspect the PCIe driver change merged in 3.16
is part of the cause.

The issue is actually with resume procedure.  I noticed that Richard
added the following change in FSL kernel tree, which seems to fix the
issue.

And I copied the details of the errata as below.

ERR005723 PCIe: PCIe does not support L2 power down

Description:
When PCIe works as Root Complex, it can exit L2 mode only through reset.
Since PCIe does not have a dedicated reset control bit, it cannot exit
L2 mode.

Projected Impact:
PCIe does not support L2 power down.

Workarounds:
The PCIe can be put into PDDQ mode to save PCIe PHY power and wake up
only by the OOB (Out of Band) wakeup signal (since wakeup by a beacon
from link partner is not supported) driven from the link partner (End
Point). This signal could be used as a GPIO interrupt to exit this mode.
The limitation of this workaround is that the link partner cannot be put
into L2 mode.

As I have no knowledge of how PCIe works, I provided all the info I
found here to kick the discussion.  Hopefully, we can find a proper fix
to get suspend/resume back to work.
