s/refclk is always provided/the Root Port always supplies Refclk/

At least, I assume that's what this means?  The Root Port always
supplies Refclk regardless of whether a downstream device deasserts
CLKREQ#?

The patch doesn't do anything to prevent aspm.c from setting
PCI_EXP_LNKCTL_CLKREQ_EN, so it looks like Linux may still set the
"Enable Clock Power Management" bit in downstream devices, but the
Root Port just ignores the CLKREQ# signal, right?

s/CPM/Clock Power Management (CPM)/ and then you can use "CPM" for the
*second* reference here.

It *looks* like we should never see this PCIe hang because with this
setting you don't advertise L1SS in the Root Port, so the OS should
never enable L1SS, at least for that link.  Right?

If we never enable L1SS in the case where it could cause a hang, why
mention the possibility here?

I assume that if the downstream device is a Switch, L1SS is unsafe for
the Root Port to Switch link, but it could still be used for the link
between the Switch and whatever is below it?

IIUC this T_CLRon timing issue is with the STB/CM *Root Port*, but the
last sentence refers to "older devices," which sounds like it means
"older devices that might be plugged into the Root Port."  That would
suggest the issue is with those devices, not iwth the STB/CM Root
Port.

Or maybe this is meant to refer to older STB/CM Root Ports?

I'm having a hard time reconciling "almost all STB/CM boards operate
in 'no-l1ss' mode" with "most devices did not work in 'no-l1ss' mode."
They sound contradictory.

As a user, how do I determine which setting to use?

Trial and error?  If so, how do I identify the errors?

Obviously "default" is the best, so I assume I would try that first.
If something is flaky (whatever that means), I would fall back to
"no-l1ss", which gets me Clock PM, L0s, and L1, right?  In what
situation does "no-l1ss" fail, and how do I tell that it fails?
