Regarding "brcm,enable-l1ss":

  The Broadcom STB/CM PCIe HW -- a core that is also used by RPi SOCs --
  requires the driver probe() to deliberately place the HW one of three
  CLKREQ# modes:

  (a) CLKREQ# driven by the RC unconditionally
  (b) CLKREQ# driven by the EP for ASPM L0s, L1
  (c) Bidirectional CLKREQ#, as used for L1 Substates (L1SS).

  The HW+driver can tell the difference between downstream devices that
  need (a) and (b), but does not know when to configure (c).  Further, the
  HW may cause a CPU abort on boot if guesses wrong regarding the need for
  (c).  So we introduce the boolean "brcm,enable-l1ss" property to indicate
  that (c) is desired.  Setting this property only makes sense when the
  downstream device is L1SS-capable and the OS is configured to activate
  this mode (e.g. policy==superpowersave).

  This property is already present in the Raspian version of Linux, but the
  upstream driver implementaion that will follow adds more details and
  discerns between (a) and (b).

Regarding "brcm,completion-timeout-us"

  Our HW will cause a CPU abort if the L1SS exit time is longer than the
  PCIe transaction completion abort timeout.  We've been asked to make this
  configurable, so we are introducing "brcm,completion-timeout-us".

What happened here? Where is the changelog?

It is in the cover letter:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230411165919.23955-1-jim2101024@gmail.com/

but it does not look like the cover letter was copied to you or Rob.

Yes, sorry about that; I use a wrapper over the "cocci_cc" script and
I need to modify one or both scripts to send the cover to the
superset of recipients in the constituent commits.

Try out 'b4'. It's much easier.

In any case, I don't read cover letters. Changes to a patch belong with 
the patch.

This is not what most other maintainers do, and there does not appear to 
be a general consensus amongst maintainers that the changes belong in 
the individual patches, or in the cover letter. Some trees like the 
networking tree do merge commits of patch sets where the cover letter is 
used as part of the merge commit message. Other maintainers don't, and 
some want the change log after the '---' and some do not.

It'd be nice to mention the property names (maybe omit the "brcm,"
prefix if that helps) in the commit log so "git log --oneline" is more
useful:

  959e000f0463 ("dt-bindings: PCI: brcmstb: Add two optional props")
  ea372f45cfff ("dt-bindings: PCI: Add bindings for Brcmstb EP voltage regulators")
  504253e44a9d ("dt-bindings: PCI: Correct brcmstb interrupts, interrupt-map.")
  145790e55d82 ("dt-bindings: PCI: Add compatible string for Brcmstb 74[23]5 MIPs SOCs")
  5e8a7d26d935 ("dt-bindings: PCI: brcmstb: compatible is required")
  f435ce7ebf8c ("dt-bindings: PCI: brcmstb: add BCM4908 binding")

Completion Timeout is a generic PCIe concept.  Do we want a generic
(non-brcm) name that would be documented elsewhere?  Rob?

Maybe a pointer to the source of the 400ns requirement?

"requirement that requires" is a little redundant, maybe "... may not
meet the requirement that Refclk be valid within 400ns of CLKREQ#
assertion"?

(I don't actually know whether this refers to Refclk or if that would
be a true statement; this is just a possible sentence structure.)

Well, I stole that phrase from someone else (gregkh).

I'm not aware of anyone except for DRM wanting the changelog in the 
final commits, but that's really a different issue.

I'm pretty sure no one will complain about a changelog in the patches. I 
guess you just have to duplicate it if you think it should be in both. 
b4 could be taught to do that I suppose. IMO, the cover letter should 
have a higher level changelog than the individual patches.

I don't think anyone wants changelogs in actual final commits, they usually go under "---" in patch submissions.

b4 doesn't really need to manage per-patch changelogs -- they should just go under "---" in the commit. When you send the series either via "b4 send" or via git-send-email, the changelogs will be properly included in the message, but they won't make it into the tree after the maintainer runs "git am", because git will drop anything under the first "---" in the commit message.

The cover letter changelog is supposed to be higher level than individual patch changelogs, so I don't think it makes sense for b4 to collect them from individual patches.
