Rockchip boards with PCIe3 controllers inside the soc (rk3568, rk3588) have
external clock generators on the board to generate the needed 100MHz
reference clock the PCIe3 controller needs.

Often these clock generators need supplies to be enabled to run.

Modelling this clock has taken a number of shapes:
- The rk3568 Rock-3a modelled the generator-regulator as "phy-supply" [0]
  &pcie30phy {
  	phy-supply = <&vcc3v3_pi6c_03>;
  	status = "okay";
  };
  which is of course not part of the binding

- On the Rock-5-ITX the supply of the clock generator is controlled by
  the same gpio as the regulator supplying the the port connected to the
  pcie30x4 controller, so if this controller probes first, both
  controllers will just run. But if the pcie30x2 controller probes first
  (which has a different supply), the controller will stall at the first
  dbi read.

- Recent Theobroma-Systems boards (Jaguar and Tiger) modelled their
  generator as a combination of fixed clock and gpio-gate, which works
  because the generator's vdd-supply is always on and only the output-
  enable pin needs to be toggled.


So this series attempts to improve the situation by allowing to model
these clock generators as actual entities in the devicetree, to not have
them just accidentially work or break bindings.

I was wondering if these changes apply to Radxa Rock 5b SbC, it does not have
pi6c557 clock generator but the schematic supports GEN_CLK_100MHZ is
input to CLKin0 which is generated via the VCC3V3_PI6C_05 (100MHz,3.3V,3225)
regulator.

yes, that is the same setup as on the Rock 5 ITX, see it's patch in
this series.

The difference being that for your Rock 5b it already works by accident,
as the pcie30x4 port-supply and the supply for the clock-generator are
controlled by the same gpio.

So it does make sense to model this correctly for correctness sake, but
there is no immediate need for action, as there is no fault happening
like on the Rock 5 ITX with its two separate ports.
