Hi Main,

This patch effectively brings back the behavior prior to commit
ef61c7d8d032 ("PCI: imx6: Deassert apps_reset in
imx_pcie_deassert_core_reset()") which caused the original
regressions.

To ease your concerns I've tested this patch on top of v6.16-rc3 with
the following IMX6 boards I have here with and without a PCI device
attached:
imx6q-gw51xx - no switch
imx6q-gw54xx - switch

I only have imx6qdl/imx8mm/imx8mp boards to test with.

From what I can tell it doesn't look like the original patch that
added the 'symmetric' apps_reset de-assert was necessarily well
tested. It started out being added because as far as I can tell it
'looked' like the right thing to do [1]. You requested changes to the
commit log for wording [2],[3] but I'm unclear that anyone tested
this.

Best Regards,

Tim
