Re subject, what does the patch actually *do*? It looks like it "asserts PERST# on BCM2711", which I think would be more informative than "don't assume 2711 bootloader leaves PERST# asserted".

This is not necessarily the case for the 2711/RPi bootloader, > so, for 2711/RPi SOCs, do what Raspian OS does and assert PERST#. > > [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/20230411165919.23955-1-jim2101024@xxxxxxxxx/T/#m39ebab8bc2827b2304aeeff470a6c6a58f46f987 Does this link go with something above? "[1]" isn't mentioned above. I did look at that message, but the connection to this patch isn't obvious to me. > Signed-off-by: Jim Quinlan <jim2101024@xxxxxxxxx> > --- > drivers/pci/controller/pcie-brcmstb.c | 5 +++++ > 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) > > diff --git a/drivers/pci/controller/pcie-brcmstb.c b/drivers/pci/controller/pcie-brcmstb.c > index fe0415a98c63..7b698a9a851e 100644 > --- a/drivers/pci/controller/pcie-brcmstb.c > +++ b/drivers/pci/controller/pcie-brcmstb.c > @@ -884,6 +884,11 @@ static int brcm_pcie_setup(struct brcm_pcie *pcie) > > /* Reset the bridge */ > pcie->bridge_sw_init_set(pcie, 1); > + > + /* Ensure that PERST# is asserted; some bootloaders may deassert it. */ > + if (pcie->type == BCM2711) > + pcie->perst_set(pcie, 1); > + > usleep_range(100, 200); > > /* Take the bridge out of reset */ > -- > 2.17.1 >
