[PATCH V4 0/3] PCI/ASPM: reconfigure ASPM following hotplug for POLICY_DEFAULT

(POLICY_DEFAULT), current code is querying the enable/disable
states from ASPM registers to determine the policy.

For example, a BIOS could set the power saving state to performance
and clear all ASPM control registers. A balanced ASPM policy could
enable L0s and disable L1. A power conscious BIOS could enable both
L0s and L1 to trade off latency and performance vs. power.

After hotplug removal, pcie_aspm_exit_link_state() function clears
the ASPM registers. An insertion following hotplug removal reads
incorrect policy as ASPM disabled even though ASPM was enabled
during boot.

This is caused by the fact that same function is used for reconfiguring
ASPM regardless of the of the power on state.

------------------------
Changes from v3 (https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/3/8/670)
------------------------
- call pcie_aspm_init_link_state() for every device, maybe from
pci_init_capabilities()

- for bridges, have pcie_aspm_init_link_state() allocate a
link_state, regardless of whether it currently has any children,
and save the ASPM settings done by firmware

- for endpoints, have pcie_aspm_init_link_state() do the actual ASPM
setup of the link as it currently does

- for endpoints, change pcie_aspm_exit_link_state() so it cleans up
the device's own state and disables ASPM if necessary, but doesn't
remove the parent's link_state

- for bridges, change pcie_aspm_exit_link_state() so it frees the
bridge's own link_state

Sinan Kaya (3):
  PCI/ASPM: divide ASPM capability init into pre and post init
  PCI/ASPM: move part of ASPM initialization to pci_init_capabilities
  PCI/ASPM: move link_state cleanup to bridge remove

What is this series based on?  Unless they depend on other in-flight
patches, I apply patches to branches based on my "master" branch,
which is typically -rc1 or -rc2 (it's currently v4.11-rc1).  These
don't apply to either.
