Thanks for your comments.
In another review loop listed below, Lucas used said that it's not good to hide
PHY init in imx6_pcie_assert_core_reset()
So, I make a try to move the phy_init() out of imx6_pcie_assert_core_reset().
And move phy_power_on() out of imx6_pcie_clk_enable() accordingly.

Okay, I would specific that they are moving *to* later.

The error handling of the imx6_pcie_host_init() is not mentioned in the subject.
Should I split these changes into two patches?
