Kumar,

as Thomas already mentioned, non-prefixed "foo-gpios" are quite common.
As reset gpios are likely to be common among SoC pci controller setups,
I though I'd stick with the non-prefixed property. But I have no strong
opinion about it - but let's see how DT jurisdiction will vote :)

discussion got to about configuration info.

Hmm, for Dove SoC, I only have one board to test - but the driver
currently is for 4 different SoCs. I just did some quick evaluation
of the reset delay required to bring up the device on the D3Plug.
Using 10ms was too short, 20ms worked.

I guess there will be other SoC/boards requiring different delays
but I am fine with hardcoded 20ms and re-introduce reset-delay property
only if it is really required. The driver's default is 20ms anyway.

Ok, will add the properties to one of the example ports.

Thanks,
