Yes, sorry, my thinking was that this code in tegra_pcie_ep_irq_thread():

	/* If EP doesn't advertise L1SS, just return */
	val = dw_pcie_readl_dbi(pci, pcie->cfg_link_cap_l1sub);
	if (!(val & (PCI_L1SS_CAP_ASPM_L1_1 | PCI_L1SS_CAP_ASPM_L1_2)))
		return IRQ_HANDLED;


after your patch can be replaced with:

	/* If EP doesn't advertise L1SS, just return */
	if (!pci->l1ss_support)
		return IRQ_HANDLED;


Since we already know that if !pci->l1ss_support,
these bits will be cleared by DWC common code.


So, after that, we could replace the struct tegra_pcie_dw
struct member cfg_link_cap_l1sub with a local variable in
init_host_aspm().


Kind regards,
Niklas
