From the ARTPEC-6 SoC manual:
By default, the PCI Express interface shall be held in reset and
clock-gated.
Software is required to enable the relevant modules
(turns on clocks and de-asserts reset) before these modules can be used.
Turning on the clocks and de-asserting reset is done in
pp->ops->host_init().
We get an external abort when calling dw_pcie_iatu_unroll_enabled,
since that function does a read from the IP before we are allowed to do
AXI transfers (at least in the ARTPEC-6 case, might be the same for some
other SoCs).
It appears that dw_pcie_iatu_unroll_enabled was actually called _before_
host_init() in v4 of Joao's patch, but was changed to after host_init() in
v5,
unfortunately the patch doesn't state a reason for the move.

I cannot read the PortView register (call dw_pcie_iatu_unroll_enabled),
before calling pp->ops->host_init() (artpec6_pcie_host_init),
since that results in an imprecise external abort.
The value from my print is never displayed before crashing.
The reason why we get an imprecise external abort is because the
PCI Express interface module is by default disabled in the ARTPEC-6 SoC
system controller.
Doing an AXI transfer before the module is enabled will result in a
SIGBUS/imprecise external abort.
The PCI Express interface module gets enabled in artpec6_pcie_establish_link
(which is called from pp->ops->host_init() (artpec6_pcie_host_init)).
I can now see why we cannot move
pp->iatu_unroll_enabled = dw_pcie_iatu_unroll_enabled(pp);
to after pp->ops->host_init().
pp->ops->host_init() calls dw_pcie_setup_rc, which calls
dw_pcie_prog_outbound_atu, which uses pp->iatu_unroll_enabled.
How about this:

Before invoking the host initialization routine, the pcie driver must check if
it going to work in Unroll Mode or not. Your work around un fortunately is not
valid, because you are forcing the host init to be always in legacy mode since
pp->iatu_unroll_enabled will be 0 (Legacy).
If you check the driver will consider the iATU mode to be Unroll if the PortView
register has the value 0x, which in 4.80 core means that the Core has
Unroll activated. From what you are refering, I think that in your setup, the
driver is assuming that your Core is in Unroll Mode for some reason. Could you
please check the value of the PortView Register?
Thanks.
