So, did it like this, since I don't think the output from my system
actually is important.
(I added some descriptive text that is loosely based on the spec)

Use maximum latency when determining L1 ASPM

Make pcie_aspm_check_latency comply with the PCIe spec, specifically:
"5.4.1.2.2. Exit from the L1 State"

Which makes it clear that each switch is required to initiate a
transition within 1μs from receiving it, accumulating this latency and
then we have to wait for the slowest link along the path before
entering L0 state from L1.

The current code doesn't take the maximum latency into account.

>From the example:
   +----------------+
   |                |
   |  Root complex  |
   |                |
   |    +-----+     |
   |    |32 μs|     |
   +----------------+
           |
           |  Link 1
           |
   +----------------+
   |     |8 μs|     |
   |     +----+     |
   |    Switch A    |
   |     +----+     |
   |     |8 μs|     |
   +----------------+
           |
           |  Link 2
           |
   +----------------+
   |    |32 μs|     |
   |    +-----+     |
   |    Switch B    |
   |    +-----+     |
   |    |32 μs|     |
   +----------------+
           |
           |  Link 3
           |
   +----------------+
   |     |8μs|      |
   |     +---+      |
   |   Endpoint C   |
   |                |
   |                |
   +----------------+

Links 1, 2 and 3 are all in L1 state - endpoint C initiates the
transition to L0 at time T. Since switch B takes 32 μs to exit L1 on
it's ports, Link 3 will transition to L0 at T+32 (longest time
considering T+8 for endpoint C and T+32 for switch B).

Switch B is required to initiate a transition from the L1 state on it's
upstream port after no more than 1 μs from the beginning of the
transition from L1 state on the downstream port. Therefore, transition from
L1 to L0 will begin on link 2 at T+1, this will cascade up the path.

The path will exit L1 at T+34.
