So this is a hardware defect in the device? As far as I know, ASPM
and L1SS are specified such that they should work without special
driver support.

OK. I asked because devices often mirror architected PCIe config
things in device-specific MMIO space, and if I squint just right, I
can sort of match up the register bits you used with things in the
PCIe spec.

What do you need to do? include/linux/pci-aspm.h exports
pci_disable_link_state(), which is mainly used to avoid ASPM states
that have hardware errata.
If you need to do something beyond that, we can talk about adding
something new.
There are quite a few other things in include/linux/pci-aspm.h, but
they're all for internal use in the PCI core. I'll move them to
drivers/pci/pci.h to avoid confusion.

This is pretty vague. Can you be any more specific? If there are
performance or stability problems in the PCI core ASPM support, I'd
prefer to fix those instead of working around them in every driver.
