I tested your patch with the RC4 of kernel 6.18 today. 

Unfortunately it

Thanks for testing that.  I see now why that approach doesn't work:
quirk_disable_aspm_l0s_l1() calls pci_disable_link_state(), which
updates the permissible ASPM link states, but pci_disable_link_state()
only works for devices at the downstream end of a link.  It doesn't
work at all for Root Ports, which are at the upstream end of a link.

Christian, you originally reported that both X5000 and X1000 were
broken.  I suspect X1000 may have been fixed in v6.18-rc3 by
df5192d9bb0e ("PCI/ASPM: Enable only L0s and L1 for devicetree
platforms"), but I would love to have confirmation of that.

Hello Bjorn,

I will enable CONFIG_PCIEASPM and CONFIG_PCIEASPM_DEFAULT for the RC5 
of kernel 6.18 and test it with the X1000.

Thanks,
christian

Hello Bjorn,

I tested the RC5 of kernel 6.18 with CONFIG_PCIEASPM and 
CONFIG_PCIEASPM_DEFAULT enabled on my X1000 today. Unfortunately the 
boot problems are still present.

Cheers,
Christian
