SubjectRe: [PATCH v2] PCI: aardvark: Use LTSSM state to build link training flag

LMI? I assume this is an Aardvark-specific register? Maybe "Aardvark
LMI register", since the other things here are generic PCIe registers?

Is this a hardware erratum? I know advk does some software emulation,
but it looks like the Aardvark PCIE_CORE_PCIEXP_CAP + PCI_EXP_LNKSTA
register is awfully close to being exactly the PCIe-defined
PCI_EXP_LNKSTA, so the difference seems like a mistake.

It sounds like reading and/or writing some registers during a retrain
causes some sort of EL1 error? Is this a separate erratum? Is there
a list of the registers and operations (read/write) that are affected?
The backtrace below suggests that it's actually a read of LNKCAP or
LNKCTL (not LNKSTA) that caused the error.

It sounds like there are really two problems:

1) Reading PCI_EXP_LNKSTA (or the Aardvark equivalent) doesn't give
valid data for PCI_EXP_LNKSTA_LT.

2) Sometimes config reads cause EL1 errors.

If that's the case and if it's possible, can you split this into a
patch for each issue?

This backtrace doesn't make sense to me as being related to this
issue. You said above that the bug was that PCI_EXP_LNKSTA_LT is not
updated. But apparently even *reading* a register at the wrong time
causes this EL1 error. And pcie_get_aspm_reg() doesn't even read
LNKSTA; it only reads LNKCAP and LNKCTL.

BTW, if you're including a backtrace in a commit log, you can strip
out the timestamps and the "cut" lines because they don't contribute
information that's relevant in this context.

Don't you mean PCI_EXP_LNKSTA here?

If you did mean PCI_EXP_LNKSTA above, I suppose you would leave
PCI_EXP_LNKCTL here?

What's the purpose of this DEVCTL change? Could it be a separate patch?
I can't tell that it's related to the PCI_EXP_LNKSTA_LT issue.
