Just to be sure: you're talking about the PERST# gpios (e. g. reset-gpios)
here, right?

There's no way to power up/down each device, as they all share the
same regulator line (LDO33). So, when this is powered on, all PCI
devices are powered at the same time.

The original DT had names for each reset-gpio, but this was just
informative, as the only possible way for this hardware to work is
to send the PERST# signal via all GPIOs at the same time.

Ok, we might overdesign the DT, in order to consider a non-existent
scenario where it would be possible to power on and reset the devices
in separate, but I can't think on a way to do that, except by maybe
creating virtual phy (or pcie) DT nodes, one for each combination of
regulator + PERST#, and have separate drivers for each one. Such kind
of scenario only makes sense when each PCIe device can be powered on
independently (which is not the case here).

If you have a better idea, I'm all ears.

This won't work. The PERST# signal should be sent after initializing
the PCIe + PHY and powering up the PEX8606 PCIe bridge chipset
(via LDO33). That happens when the PCIe driver is loaded.

Thanks,
Mauro
