[Richard Zhu] Hi Fabio:
First of all, thanks for your help to care this bug.
This dump is planned to be fixed in the #5 patch of
 '[v4,0/6] PCI: imx6: refine codes and add compliance tests mode support'
"https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-arm-kernel/cover/1635747478-25562-1-git-send-email-hongxing.zhu@xxxxxxx/";

As we know that the hot-plug is not supported by i.MX PCIe. i.MX PCIe would
not have any chances to be functional after one link down.

To save power consumption as much as possible, we should do the error
 handling after link is down.

Ignore the the dw_pcie_wait_for_link() error, PCIe would keep consuming
 the power, this is not friendly for the system power saving.

Best Regards
Richard Zhu
