When a PCIe device is hotplugged to a Thunderbolt port, ASPM is not enabled for that device. However, when the device is plugged preboot, ASPM is enabled by default. The disparity happens because BIOS doesn't have the ability to program ASPM on hotplugged devices. So enable ASPM by default for external connected PCIe devices so ASPM settings are consitent between preboot and hotplugged. On HP Thunderbolt Dock G4, enable ASPM can also fix BadDLLP error: pcieport 0000:00:1d.0: AER: Corrected error received: 0000:07:04.0 pcieport 0000:07:04.0: PCIe Bus Error: severity=Corrected, type=Data Link Layer, (Receiver ID) pcieport 0000:07:04.0: device [8086:0b26] error status/mask=00000080/00002000 pcieport 0000:07:04.0: [ 7] BadDLLP The root cause is still unclear, but quite likely because the I225 on the dock supports PTM, where ASPM timing is precalculated for the PTM.
