Shawn,

I think the bindings are wrong.

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pci/fsl,imx6q-pcie.yaml has [1]:

  clocks:
    minItems: 3
    items:
      - description: PCIe bridge clock.
      - description: PCIe bus clock.
      - description: PCIe PHY clock.
      - description: Additional required clock entry for imx6sx-pcie,
          imx8mq-pcie.

  clock-names:
    minItems: 3
    items:
      - const: pcie
      - const: pcie_bus
      - const: pcie_phy
      - const: pcie_inbound_axi for imx6sx-pcie, pcie_aux for imx8mq-pcie

This indicates the "pcie_phy" clock is required yet
drivers/pci/controller/dwc/pci-imx6.c [2] doesn't require it if it has
an abstract PHY driver which is the case for IMX8M (and that's why my
patch drops it)

Additionally I note that the 4th clock described in the bindings could
use some clarification for imx8mm-pcie as for this "pcie_aux" is
required.

Tim
