[PATCH TEST] ath10k: Testing Mani's ASPM patch (QCA9377, v6.16-rc1)

[Bandhan Pramanik]

Hello everyone,

I was actually trying to build a kernel for someone else using build 
automation scripts. They still didn't compile. (Here's the relevant 
thread I'm referring to: 
https://lore.kernel.org/ath10k/176B76BC-6801-4C3F-A774-9611B43ED4AF@gmail.com/T/#t) 

Regardless, I tested the patches by Mani 
(https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250716-ath-aspm-fix-v1-0-dd3e62c1b692@oss.qualcomm.com).

Here are the logs:

Without pcie_aspm=off (did not work): 
https://gist.github.com/BandhanPramanik/ddb0cb23eca03ca2ea43a1d832a16180/raw/84edf89740919e3cba2ac33e567110b14e2d3627/patch-dmesg

With pcie_aspm=off (worked, no issues observed): 
https://gist.github.com/BandhanPramanik/ddb0cb23eca03ca2ea43a1d832a16180/raw/84edf89740919e3cba2ac33e567110b14e2d3627/patch-dmesg-pcie_aspm_off

I'm not fully sure what the logs imply, but thanks, it did work even 
after playing YouTube videos for two hours (might not even work in the 
future, cannot be certain). Earlier, my laptop had its Wi-Fi turning off 
within minutes because of IRQ #16 being flooded, in every kernel I 
tested so far. Now, it does work.

There can be seen certain stuff in the second log, where it took some 
time to connect to Wi-Fi, but I think it is mostly fine.

Thanks to those who have prepared the patches and those who did bear 
with me, but there's one request I still need to make.

For anyone who has built patched kernels for Ubuntu and exported in DEB 
files, I would appreciate any guidance or pointers on how to do the 
same, as my efforts to use "make deb-pkg" have been futile:
