This patch has been introduced to fix the following behavior.
HW conditions
- Variscite DART-MX8M on DT8MCustomBoard v2.x or higher.
- The PCIe connector uses a reset pin coming from a GPIO expander connected to the I2C bus.
SW behavior
- Upon wake-up, the PCIe try toggling the reset pins, but the GPIO expander / I2C bus are still suspended, leading to a PCIe wake-up failure.
>From our investigation, we can't identify a way to postpone PCIe wake-up after I2C wake-up.
This patch is still present in latest NXP kernel 5.15, but please let me know if you think this should be approached / fixed in a different way.

Thanks

Pier
