Hi,
Just checking if we are good with this patch or does it need any further
modifications?
Thanks,
Vidya Sagar

Some of the platforms (like Tegra194 and Tegra234) have open slots and
not having an endpoint connected to the slot is not an error.
So, changing the macro from dev_err to dev_info to log the event.
But the link up not happening is an actual error and -ETIMEDOUT is being
returned. So I don't think the log severity should be changed.
Yes it is an error in the sense it is a timeout, but reporting an error
because nothing is attached to a PCI slot seems a bit noisy. Please note
that a similar change was made by the following commit and it also seems
appropriate here ...

PCI: tegra: Change link retry log level to debug
BTW, we check for error messages in the dmesg output and this is a new error
seen as of Linux v6.0 and so this was flagged in a test. We can ignore the
error, but in this case it seem more appropriate to make this a info or
debug level print.
Can you tell whether there's a device present, e.g., via Slot Status
Presence Detect? If there's nothing in the slot, I don't know why we
would print anything at all. If a card is present but there's no
link, that's probably worthy of dev_info() or even dev_err().
I don't think all form factors allow for the PRSNT pin to be wired up,
so we cannot know if the device is actually present in the slot or not all
the time. Maybe we should do if the form factor supports it?
I guess if you can tell the slot is empty, there's no point in even
trying to start the link, so you could avoid both the message and the
timeout by not even calling dw_pcie_wait_for_link().
Right. There is an overhead of waiting for ~1ms during boot.
Async probe should mitigate that, right? Saravana is working toward
making that the default instead of opt in, but you could opt in now.
No. The delay is due to the DWC core waiting for link up that depends on
the PCIe device to be present on the slot. The driver probe order
doesn't apply here.
Thanks,
