Certain devices like QPS615 which uses PCI pwrctl framework
needs to configure the device before PCI link is up.

If the controller driver already enables link training as part of
its probe, after the device is powered on, controller and device
participates in the link training and link can come up immediately
and maynot have time to configure the device.

So we need to stop the link training by using stop_link() and enable
them back after device is configured by using start_link().

s/maynot/may not/

I think I'm missing the point here.  My assumption is this:

   - device starts as powered off
   - pwrctl turns on the power
   - link trains automatically
   - qcom driver claims device
   - qcom needs to configure things that need to happen before link
     train
The flow is this way
     - device starts as powered off
     - qcom controller driver probes
     - qcom controller driver enables resources and starts link training
     - As device is powered off link will not be up
     - qcom/dwc driver starts enumeration even if the link is not up
     - pci detects root complex device and creates pci_dev for it
     - As part of pci_dev creation pwrctl frameworks comes into picture
     - pwrctl turns on the power.

The pwrctl driver is coming up only after qcom driver enables link
training. Due to this flow we are trying add these stop_link() &
start_link() so that before powering on the device stop the link
training so that hw will not participate in the link training.
Then power on the device do the required configurations and again start
the link training.

but that can't be quite right because you wouldn't be able to fix it
by changing the qcom driver because it's not in the picture until the
link is already trained.

So maybe you can add a little more context here?
