I think the problem is not that the current code is *wrong*, because
we do need to observe T_PERST-CLK, but that it failed to *also*
account for T_PVPERL.

There are two delays before deasserting PERST#:

  T_PVPERL: delay after power becomes stable
  T_PERST-CLK: delay after REFCLK becomes stable

I assume power is enabled by phy_power_on(), and REFCLK is enabled by
clk_prepare_enable():

  cdns_pcie_init_phy
    cdns_pcie_enable_phy
      phy_power_on             <-- power becomes stable
  clk_prepare_enable           <-- REFCLK becomes stable
  if (gpiod)
    usleep_range
    gpiod_set_value_cansleep(gpiod, 1)   <-- deassert PERST#

I don't actually know if phy_power_on() guarantees that power is
stable before it returns.  But I guess that's our assumption?
Similarly for clk_prepare_enable().

In any case, we have to observe both delays.  They overlap, and
T_PVPERL is 1000 times longer than T_PERST-CLK, so there might be
enough slop in an msleep(100) to cover both, but I think I would do
the simple-minded:

  msleep(PCIE_TPVPERL_MS);
  usleep_range(PCIE_TPERST_CLK_US, 2 * PCIE_TPERST_CLK_US);

This is slightly more conservative than necessary because they
overlap, but at least it shows that we thought about both of them.

I wish this local variable were named something like "perst_gpiod"
instead of "gpiod".  We already know from its use in
gpiod_set_value_cansleep() that it's a GPIO.  What's NOT obvious from
the context is that this is the PERST# signal.

Tangent: it looks like the DT "reset" property that I'm assuming
controls PERST# is optional.  How do we enforce these delays if that
property is missing?
