The Broadcom STB/CM PCIe HW core, which is also used in RPi SOCs, must be
deliberately set by the PCIe RC HW into one of three mutually exclusive
modes:
"safe" -- No CLKREQ# expected or required, refclk is always provided. This
mode should work for all devices but is not be capable of any refclk
power savings.
"no-l1ss" -- CLKREQ# is expected to be driven by the downstream device for
CPM and ASPM L0s and L1. Provides Clock Power Management, L0s, and L1,
but cannot provide L1 substate (L1SS) power savings. If the downstream
device connected to the RC is L1SS capable AND the OS enables L1SS, all
PCIe traffic may abruptly halt, potentially hanging the system.
"default" -- Bidirectional CLKREQ# between the RC and downstream device.
Provides ASPM L0s, L1, and L1SS, but not compliant to provide Clock
Power Management; specifically, may not be able to meet the T_CLRon max
timing of 400ns as specified in "Dynamic Clock Control", section
3.2.5.2.2 of the PCIe Express Mini CEM 2.1 specification. This
situation is atypical and should happen only with older devices.
Previously, this driver always set the mode to "no-l1ss", as almost all
STB/CM boards operate in this mode. But now there is interest in
activating L1SS power savings from STB/CM customers, which requires "aspm"
mode. In addition, a bug was filed for RPi4 CM platform because most
devices did not work in "no-l1ss" mode.
Note that the mode is specified by the DT property "brcm,clkreq-mode". If
this property is omitted, then "default" mode is chosen.
Note: Since L1 substates are now possible, a modification was made
regarding an internal bus timeout: During long periods of the PCIe RC HW
being in an L1SS sleep state, there may be a timeout on an internal bus
access, even though there may not be any PCIe access involved. Such a
timeout will cause a subsequent CPU abort.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
