- device starts as powered off
- qcom controller driver probes
- qcom controller driver enables resources and starts link training
- As device is powered off link will not be up
- qcom/dwc driver starts enumeration even if the link is not up
- pci detects root complex device and creates pci_dev for it
- As part of pci_dev creation pwrctl frameworks comes into picture
- pwrctl turns on the power.

The pwrctl driver is coming up only after qcom driver enables link
training. Due to this flow we are trying add these stop_link() &
start_link() so that before powering on the device stop the link
training so that hw will not participate in the link training.
Then power on the device do the required configurations and again start
the link training.
