Or even better, say something specific about the DT properties in
question, e.g., look for "reset" instead of "reset-gpios".

Will fix

"to allow the PCIe devices ...?" Something is missing from this
sentence. "To allow the devices <to do what>"? Or maybe the driver
needs these GPIOs to power up the PCIe devices?

I guess the implication is that the code looks for "reset-gpios" and
"pwren-gpios", but the DT contains "reset" and "pwren"?

But both Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pci/sifive,fu740-pcie.yaml
and arch/riscv/boot/dts/sifive/fu740-c000.dtsi actually do contain
"reset-gpios" and "pwren-gpios".

Yes, the issue is the gpio core code adds either "-gpio" or "-gpios"
itself, thus the find code does not need this. The error messages and
DT are correct. I'll reword the initial paragraph to note that which
should also deal with the other comments:

The calls to devm_gpiod_get_optional() have the -gpios at the end of
the name but the GPIO core code is already adding the suffix during
the lookup. This means the PCIe driver is not finding the necessary
reset or power lines to allow initialisation of the PCIe.



If we *do* want to change the code, please change the error messages
to match.

See above, it is just devm_gpiod_get_optional() parameters at fault.

This has not been a noted bug as the PCIe probe from u-boot has been
required to get the PCIe working due to other issues with the system
setup. It could have been broken since the driver inclusion, and not
been noticed as it is not necessary for the driver to funciton.

s/u-boot/U-Boot/
s/funciton/function/

Please add a line about what the connection between U-Boot and this
issue is, e.g., maybe U-Boot powers up the devices, so we wouldn't
notice the kernel's inability to do so?

Does a reword to the following make better sense:

This bug has not been noticed as if U-Boot has setup the GPIO lines
for the hardware when it does the PCIe initialisation (either by
booting from PCIe or user command to access PCIe) then the PCIe
will work in Linux. The U-Boot as supplied by SiFive does not by
default initialise any PCIe component.
