True, but right now, the pci-bus.yaml prevents it, as it allows just
one reset GPIO[1]:

reset-gpios:
description: GPIO controlled connection to PERST# signal
maxItems: 1

[1] https://github.com/robherring/dt-schema/blob/master/schemas/pci/pci-bus.yaml

If the schema will be changed to allow multiple reset-gpios, It should
be possible to keep this at the pcie-kirin.c driver with something like:

static int kirin_pcie_power_on(struct kirin_pcie *kirin_pcie)
{
int ret;

ret = phy_init(kirin_pcie->phy);
if (ret)
return ret;

ret = phy_power_on(kirin_pcie->phy);

/* perst assert Endpoints */
usleep_range(21000, 23000);
for (i = 0; i < phy->n_gpio_resets; i++) {
ret = gpio_direction_output(phy->gpio_id_reset[i], 1);
if (ret) {
phy_power_off(kirin_pcie->phy);
return ret;
}
}
usleep_range(10000, 11000);

return phy_reset(kirin_pcie->phy);
}

This would work for both 960 - where phy_reset() is not needed,
and for 970, where it would set the eye diagram for the PHY.

Should I send a patch for pci-bus.yaml via github?

Thanks,
