So IIUC, you're saying that on EN7581, the PCI hierarchy is reset by
the soc->power_up() callback, mtk_pcie_en7581_power_up(), via
REG_PCI_CONTROL and REG_RESET_CONTROL.

I assume the hierarchy is also reset by the non-EN7581 .power_up()
callback, mtk_pcie_power_up()?

And prior to this patch, we reset the hierarchy *again* in
mtk_pcie_startup_port() via PCIE_RST_CTRL_REG, but this causes
occasional "link down" issues because of a EN7581 hardware defect.

So for EN7581, this patch skips the PCIE_RST_CTRL_REG reset in
mtk_pcie_startup_port().

.power_up() and mtk_pcie_startup_port() are used both at probe time
and in mtk_pcie_resume_noirq().  So after this patch, I assume:

  - EN7581 resets the hierarchy once at probe and resume instead of
    twice.

  - Non-EN7581 resets the hierarchy twice at probe and resume.

I assume I'm missing something (maybe mtk_pcie_power_up() doesn't
actually reset the hierarchy?) because I don't see why we would reset
the hierarchy twice for either controller.
