Hi,
We are using imx6Q custom platform based on sabresd platform. For our
development we are using Linux 3.14.28_1.0.0-GA BSP but initially we
used Linux 3.10.53_1.0.0-GA BSP.
We have seen that the pcie driver file is updated in Linux 3.14.28.

The problem we are facing is, we have a PCIe device which is SSD SATA.
With Linux 3.14.28_1.0.0-GA BSP, the PCIe-SATA is not getting detected
and it is showing below error.
      imx6q-pcie 1ffc000.pcie: phy link never came up
      imx6q-pcie 1ffc000.pcie: Failed to bring link up!
      imx6q-pcie 1ffc000.pcie: failed to initialize host
      imx6q-pcie: probe of 1ffc000.pcie failed with error -22

With Linux 3.10.53_1.0.0-GA BSP, the same PCIe-SATA is getting detected
and mounted as block device.
Here we have not changed any hardware. We just replaced the booting SD
card which contains Linux 3.10.53_1.0.0-GA BSP binaries.

In addition, , we have checked with several PCIe devices (network PCIe
devices) with Linux 3.14.28_1.0.0-GA BSP. Only some of the PCIe devices
are getting detected.
Please note that, all the devices are getting detected in the Linux
3.10.53_1.0.0-GA BSP.

Please help us to resolve this issue.

Please clarify whether your device is PCIe or SATA - it can be only one
of those, not both at the same time.

FWIW newer M.2 boards directly expose a PCIe interface and embed a SATA
controler which (I believe) expose one drive but balances the load
between several SATA SSD to get better performances.
So the host only see a PCIe interface but the board has both PCIe and
SATA inside (and the host needs both PCIe and AHCI support) :

http://www.bjorn3d.com/2015/03/480gb-hyperx-predator-m-2-pcie-ssd-shpm2280p2480g/
(M.2 SSD also exist with a SATA interface directly exposed but they have
a different keying on the connector to prevent the mismatch which is
possible with mSATA vs mPCIe).

Ahh, I see. I was thinking about SATA mostly as physical interface, not
as a PCIe-based controller...

Yes, you're correct - in this case PCIe will have to be enabled and
working, for sure, and the device's specific driver (could be a generic
SATA?) should also be enabled.

@ansaris - I'm not an expert in PCIe, but you can check whether your
board generates a proper PCIe reference clock.

Regards,
Nikolay
