If you do a proper shutdown in Linux the kernel will make sure to
properly disable PCIe before rebooting and leave things behind in a
deterministic state.

The problem appears when a watchdog reset happens, so the kernel has no
chance to clean things up before rebooting. This isn't a problem if you
do a full system reset via the watchdog out line to the PMIC, but gets
ugly if only the i.MX6 is reset (which apparently doesn't clear the GPR
bits).
