Since runtime PM is disabled for host bridge, the state of the child
devices under the host bridge is not taken into account by PM framework
for the top level parent, PCIe controller. So PM framework, allows
the controller driver to enter runtime PM irrespective of the state
of the devices under the host bridge.

IIUC this says that we runtime suspend the controller even though
runtime PM is disabled for the host bridge?  I have a hard time
parsing this; can you cite a function that does this or some relevant
documentation about how this part of runtime PM works?

Generally controller should go to runtime suspend when endpoint client
drivers and pci-pci host bridge drivers goes to runtime suspend as the
controller driver is the parent, but we are observing controller driver
goes to runtime suspend even when client drivers and PCI-PCI bridge are
in active state.

Unfortunately I don't have any reference for any documentation about how
runtime PM works.
And this causes the topology breakage and also possible PM issues.

Not sure what this refers to, since you didn't mention topology
breakage earlier.  And "possible PM" issues is too vague to be useful.

So enable pm runtime for the host bridge, so that controller driver
goes to suspend only when all child devices goes to runtime suspend.

s/pm runtime/runtime PM/ so all the references match (unless you mean
something different here) (also in subject line)

There are currently no callers of pm_runtime_set_active() in
drivers/pci/controller/.  This adds it to dw_pcie_host_init(), but it
doesn't seem to be a DWC-specific issue, so I assume other drivers and
driver cores like cadence and mobiveil should have this, too?

I think cadence and mobiveil also should have this.

There are several existing calls of pci_runtime_enable(), including
from several DWC drivers.  Are they now redundant?

No These are not redundant, Those drivers are calling this
pm_runtime_enable() for their controller dev node. Here we are calling
runtime enable for the bridge dev which is allocated and used by the
PCIe framework.

- Krishna Chaitanya.
In addition, [1] suggests that pm_runtime_enable() should be called
*after* pm_runtime_set_active(), but these existing calls
(dra7xx_pcie_probe(), ks_pcie_probe(), qcom_pcie_probe(),
rcar_gen4_pcie_prepare(), tegra_pcie_config_rp()) happen *before*
dw_pcie_host_init() calls pm_runtime_set_active().
