1) "While at it, ..." is always a hint that maybe this part could be
split to a separate patch.

2) The mix of chip-specific and standard PCIe ASPM configuration is a
mess.  Does it *have* to be intermixed at run-time, or could all the
chip-specific stuff be done once, e.g., maybe chip-specific ASPM
enable could be done at probe-time, and then all subsequent ASPM
configuration could done via the standard PCIe registers?

I.e., does the chip work correctly if chip-specific ASPM is enabled,
but standard PCIe ASPM config is *disabled*?

The ASPM sysfs controls [1] assume that L0s, L1, L1.1, L1.2 can all be
controlled simply by using the standard PCIe registers.  If that's not
the case for r8169, things will break when people use the sysfs knobs.
