[PATCH V8 0/5] PCI/ASPM: reconfigure ASPM following hotplug for POLICY_DEFAULT

When the operating system is booted with the default ASPM policy
(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 power on state.

------------------------
Changes from v7 (https://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg573034.html)
------------------------
- enable LTSSM as a best effort if the endpoint is not connected during
  boot
