I would like to investigate making PCI available in the > bootloader as well as the kernel reliable on IMX6. The bootloader needs to reset the LTSSM state, disable LTSSM and disable the PCIe core and PHY clocks before jumping to the kernel image. This is already done in Barebox [1] (where it works well with PCIe used both in the BL and kernel) and I gave advance warning to multiple people using U-Boot that they need to implement a similar shutdown hook there. Sadly it seems that nothing has emerged yet. Regards, Lucas [1] https://git.pengutronix.de/cgit/barebox/commit/?id=f1da98da2760c21487bbba8f7fb957c843a22896
