Just unrelated thing, I know it was there before, but I saw it just now
and have to comment it: This is absolute nonsense name. "reset-gpios"
device tree property specifies PERST# signal pin (PciE ReSeT) as defined
in PCIe CEM (Card ElectroMagnetic) specification and it has absolute
nothing with PCIe power control.

My suggestion for maintainers would be to remove this critic name at
all as it would just mislead other people reading that code.
