Hi Kangjie,

Thanks for the patch.

Even before your patch, this code doesn't make sense to me.

devm_gpio_request_one() is a setup function and should be called in
the probe path.  The "assert_reset" path should do something like
gpio_set_value().  See other callers, e.g.,

  imx6_pcie_probe()
  histb_pcie_probe()
  mvebu_pcie_parse_port()

I'm skeptical that exynos_pcie_assert_reset() ever worked as intended,
so let's straighten that out before worrying about checking the return
code from devm_gpio_request_one().

The result should be two patches: (1) fix the devm_gpio_request_one()
usage, and (2) check the devm_gpio_request_one() return value.
