Yes, this was also at first one of my big concerns so I tried to change into
to use builtin behaviour (which is much more cleaner) and when the
code was tested
it worked. It seems it is not valid for every board.

This line seems to be the problem. When ports are init, (and with your
changes seems the are
init properly), the ports with pcie link are stored into a list to be
enabled afterwards. This code is
located into 'mt7621_pcie_enable_ports' which call simple
'mt7621_pcie_enable_port' to enable each port
on the list. In this process it uses the PERS_N built-in register
deasserting and asserting it. If enabling fails
(and this is ypour case now) the port is removed from the list and it
is not properly set up. You should try to
comment this code:

/* assert port PERST_N */
val = pcie_read(pcie, RALINK_PCI_PCICFG_ADDR);
val |= PCIE_PORT_PERST(slot);
pcie_write(pcie, val, RALINK_PCI_PCICFG_ADDR);

/* de-assert port PERST_N */
val = pcie_read(pcie, RALINK_PCI_PCICFG_ADDR);
val &= ~PCIE_PORT_PERST(slot);
pcie_write(pcie, val, RALINK_PCI_PCICFG_ADDR);

/* 100ms timeout value should be enough for Gen1 training */
err = readl_poll_timeout(port->base + RALINK_PCI_STATUS,
val, !!(val & PCIE_PORT_LINKUP),
20, 100 * USEC_PER_MSEC);
if (err)
return -ETIMEDOUT;

because on enabling, it seems it is getting ETIMEOUT and hence the
message '  mt7621-pci 1e140000.pcie: de-assert port 0 PERST_N'.
Commenting
this code should end up into a properly configured pci?

Yes, that seems what is happening because of my explanation above.

I really hate the gpio way of doing this. If this works we have to
think in how to achieve this in a cleaner way :))

Thanks for your effort in this.
