[PATCH v2 0/5] staging: mt7621-pci: re-do reset boot process

[Sergio Paracuellos]

Some time ago Greg Ungerer reported some random hangs using
the staging mt7621-pci driver:

See:
* http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/pipermail/driverdev-devel/2019-June/134947.html 

Try to fix that is the main motivation of this patch series.

Also in openwrt there is a driver for mt7621-pci which seems was rewritten
from scratch (for kernel 4.14) by Ryder Lee and Weijie Gao from mediatek. 
There the approach for reset assert-deassert process is to set as 'gpio'
the function for all the 'pcie' group for the pinctrl driver and use those
gpio's as a reset for the end points. The driver I am talking about is still
using legacy pci and legacy gpio kernel interfaces. IMHO, the correct thing
to do is make this staging driver properly clean and functional and put it
in its correct place in the mainline.

See:
* https://gist.github.com/dengqf6/7a9e9b4032d99f1a91dd9256c8a65c36

Because of all of this this patch series tries to avoid random hangs of boot
trying to use the 'reset-gpios' approach.

Changes are being tested by openwrt people and seems to work.

Hope this helps.

Changes in v2:
    * restore configuration for pers mode to GPIO.
    * Avoid to read FTS_NUM register in reset state.

Best regards,
