This is what I was doing when testing PCIe on ROCK 3B, I would still like
to drop the "bad" workaround for ROCK 3A and E25 and have it fixed in
upstream DT and let it trickle back now that RK356x use OF_UPSTREAM.
I do not see the point of keeping a workaround that no longer is needed,
especially when there is plans to also adjust upstream DT.

Sure, bootrom will change pin func on some pins so that it e.g. can read
from storage etc, but in general gpio mux is what most pins will use
after POR.
On my ROCK 3A I see the pcie30x2m1 pins using func0 (gpio) after POR:
=> pinmux status
GPIO2_D4 : gpio
GPIO2_D5 : gpio
GPIO2_D6 : gpio
And with this after a "pci enum":
=> pinmux status
GPIO2_D4 : func-4
GPIO2_D5 : func-4
GPIO2_D6 : gpio
Not sure why your board would use BT656_D6M0 (func2) after POR unless
there is some other code writing to the IOMUX regs.
The only thing this series changes is that when a U-Boot drivers use e.g.
gpio_request_by_name("reset-gpios") the referenced pin in DT will
implicitly be configured for gpio func.
I would still like to understand if there is any other reason, not
related to dropping current "bad" PCIe DT workaround, to not to adopt
this implicit configuration and match Linux kernel?
