[Richard Zhu] Hi Tim:
The BIT9 of GPR14 is used as "GPR_PCIE1_PHY_I_AUX_EN_OVERRIDE_EN"
and BIT19 is used as "GPR_PCIE1_PHY_FUNC_I_AUX_EN" on i.MX8MM.
I think the two bits descriptions are used to describe the BIT19 and BIT9 together refer to my guess.
{GPR_PCIE1_PHY_I_AUX_EN_OVERRIDE_EN(BIT9), GPR_PCIE1_PHY_FUNC_I_AUX_EN(BIT19) }
2'b00: External Reference Clock I/O (for PLL) Disable
2'b01: External Reference Clock I/O (for PLL) Enable
2'b10: External Reference Clock I/O (for PLL) Disable
2'b11: External Reference Clock I/O (for PLL) output is controlled by CLKREQ#
The option1&3 should be forbidden, since the external REF CLK I/O should be enabled on your board and EVK board.
In the option2&4, the BIT19 should be set to be 1'b1.
So, regarding my understand, if the CLKREQ# is not pinmuxed in your use case, the IMX8MM_GPR_PCIE_REF_USE_PAD (BIT9) should be 1'b0.
