No, this is not a 6.11 material, but the rest of the patches I shared offline.

Hmm, the controller addition commit could be the valid fixes tag.

There is really no need to call pci_epc_deinit_notify() during the first
deassert (i.e., during the ep boot) because there are no cleanups to be done.
It is only needed during a successive PERST# assert + deassert.

Design wise both drivers are similar, so it could apply. I didn't spin a patch
because if testing of tegra driver gets delayed (I've seen this before), then I
do not want to stall merging the whole series. For Qcom it is important to get
this merged asap to avoid the crash.

Not so. Some cleanup functions may trigger a warning if attempted to do it
before 'setup'. I think dw_edma_remove() that is part of dw_pcie_ep_cleanup()
does that IIRC.
