Anyway, now I found out that kernel has functions for this waiting:
pcie_wait_for_link_delay() and pcie_wait_for_link()

Function is called from pci_bridge_wait_for_secondary_bus().

But in current form it is not usable for native controller drivers.

This looks like another candidate for code de-duplication or providing
"framework".


Lorenzo, as maintainer of native controller drivers, do you have some
ideas about providing "framework", common functions or something for
avoiding to implement same code patterns in every native controller
driver, which is de-facto standard PCIe codepath? Including a way how to
export PERST# reset gpio?
