The Cadence PCIe Controller integrated in the TI K3 SoCs supports both Root-Complex and Endpoint modes of operation. The Glue Layer allows "strapping" the Mode of operation of the Controller, the Link Speed and the Link Width. This is enabled by programming the "PCIEn_CTRL" register (n corresponds to the PCIe instance) within the CTRL_MMR memory-mapped register space. The "reset-values" of the registers are also different depending on the mode of operation.
Since the PCIe Controller latches onto the "reset-values" immediately after being powered on, if the Glue Layer configuration is not done while the PCIe Controller is off, it will result in the PCIe Controller latching onto the wrong "reset-values". In practice, this will show up as a wrong representation of the PCIe Controller's capability structures in the PCIe Configuration Space. Some such capabilities which are supported by the PCIe Controller in the Root-Complex mode but are incorrectly latched onto as being unsupported are: - Link Bandwidth Notification - Alternate Routing ID (ARI) Forwarding Support - Next capability offset within Advanced Error Reporting (AER) capability
Fix this by powering off the PCIe Controller before programming the "strap" settings and powering it on after that.

Hello,
This patch is based on commit 07d9df80082b Merge tag 'perf-tools-fixes-for-v6.17-2025-08-27' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools of Mainline Linux.
v2 of this patch is at: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250819101336.292013-1-s-vadapalli@ti.com/ Changes since v2: - Based on Bjorn's feedback at: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250819221748.GA598958@bhelgaas/ 1) Commit message has been rephrased to summarize the issue and the fix without elaborating too much on the details. 2) Description of the issue's symptoms noticeable by a user has been added to the commit message. 3) Comment has been wrapped to fit within 80 columns. 4) The implementation has been simplified by moving the Controller Power OFF and Power ON sequence into j721e_pcie_ctrl_init() as a result of which the code reordering as well as function parameter changes are no longer required. - Based on offline feedback from Vignesh, Runtime PM APIs are used instead of PM DOMAIN APIs to power off and power on the PCIe Controller. - Rebased patch on latest Mainline Linux.
Test Logs on J7200 EVM without the current patch applied show that the ARI Forwarding Capability incorrectly shows up as not being supported: https://gist.github.com/Siddharth-Vadapalli-at-TI/768bca36025ed630c4e69bcc3d...

As explained in the commit message, this discrepancy is solely due to the PCIe Controller latching onto the incorrect reset-values which occurs when the strap settings are programmed after the PCIe Controller is powered on, at which point, the reset-values don't toggle anymore.
Regards, Siddharth.
