okay, the "power_domain=00000000fe594458" for the IMX8MP_HSIOBLK_PD_PCIE case
is different as the one for the IMX8MP_HSIOBLK_PD_PCIE_PHY case ... so priv pointer
should also be different... so that should be fine ... I do not see any debug output
where this "power_domain=00000000fe594458" gets enabled (or disabled before) ... I
have to debug deeper into it... sorry. But may you have an idea...
bye,
