We have encountered some compatibility issues when connected with some
PCIe EPs, these issues are probabilistic and disabling the L0s can fix
them.

Users may not be aware of these issues, so I think disabling L0s
through the driver might be the better way, since it does not
significantly save power and we usually use L1ss for power-saving when
the link is idle.

Thanks.
