that is a good argument for using a separate PHY driver and
integrating that using the PHY subsystem (which is already the case in
this patch revision)

I am not a DWC PCIe driver expert, but it seems to me that this is
exactly the reason why struct dw_pcie has a "version" field (which
you're also filling).
same as below: I'm interested in the DWC PCIe maintainer's opinion

thank you for the explanation.
I am also interested in hearing the DWC PCIe maintainer's opinion on this topic

if we can enable the PCI_INTA/B/C/D interrupts unconditionally then
you can switch to the standard of_irq_parse_and_map_pci implementation
(as you already noted above).
in that case the extra interrupt controller won't be needed.
I have no idea how to test whether unconditionally enabling these
interrupts (in the APP registers that is) causes any problems though.
that's why I went the interrupt-controller route in my experiment.
if the hardware works with a simplified version then I'm more than
happy to use that

+Cc Kishon
he recently added support for a GPIO reset line to the
pcie-cadence-host.c [0] and I believe he's also maintaining
pci-keystone.c which are both using a 100uS delay (instead of 100ms).
I don't know the PCIe spec so maybe Kishon can comment on the values
that should be used according to the spec.
if there's then a reason why values other than the ones from the spec
are needed then there should be a comment explaining why different
values are needed (what problem does it solve).

ah, this also explains why linux,pci-domain is a mandatory property
(while it's optional for any other PCIe controller driver that I have
seen so far)

both ways will work, I just wanted to point out that you can achieve a
similar goal with less code.
if the current solution works best for your support team then I'm fine
with that as well

pcie-designware-host.c will gain .remove() support in Linux 5.4
I don't understand how .remove() and then .probe() again is different
from .unbind() followed by a .bind()
