Interesting point, so let me add Bjorn and linux-pci.
Here this attribute only controls whether the device actively enters
ASPM states. I doesn't change anything on the other side of the link.
Maybe it would be an option to add an attribute on device level in the
PCI core that reflects "ASPM allowed", or even in more detail which
ASPM states / sub-states are acceptable. Certain support for disabling
ASPM states is provided by pci_disable_link_state().
Not sure whether the device would have to be notified by the core that
certain states have been disabled. Maybe not because this is auto-
negotiated between the PCIe link partners.
Based on the usage of pci_disable_link_state() not that many devices
seem to be effected. One good example may be Intel e1000e
(__e1000e_disable_aspm()).
