This series addresses a use-after-free in the PMIC glink driver caused
by DRM bridge changes in rc1 and which can result in the internal
display not showing up on boot.

The DRM/SoC fixes here have now been merged to drm-misc for 6.8.

This series is unrelated to the DRM regressions and deals with PCIe ASPM
issues.

This regression is the most severe one as it triggers hard resets on
boot occasionally (I just tried updating the regzbot title).

This turned out to be due to a long-standing issue in a Qualcomm PM
domain driver. Bjorn A posted a fix over night which addresses this:

	https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-msm/20240226-rpmhpd-enable-corner-fix-v1-1-68c004cec48c@quicinc.com/T/#u

But also with these fixes, there are still a couple of regressions
related to the Qualcomm DRM runtime PM rework in 6.8-rc1. I'll send
separate reports to track those.
