'aspm_support' is 0.
In original implementation with aspm_default and aspm_support can help us check
if BIOS wrongly enables aspm. Do we still have such check with this change?

Yes. This patch is to fixes this check. In the current implementation,
I don't think this check works properly because aspm_enable bit is
cleared using aspm_support. ASPM driver disables ASPM only when it
is set in aspm_enabled and it is cleared in specified state. So we
must not clear aspm_enable using aspm_support.

In addition, we don't need to clear bits in aspm_default for this
check. I think this just make confusion.

Thanks,
