ack, I will add it to v2

looking at the vendor sdk (at least in the version I currently have) there are
no particular ASPM configurations, it just optionally disables it writing directly
in pci registers.
Moreover there are multiple drivers that are currently using this approach:
- ath9k in ath_pci_aspm_init()
- tg3 in tg3_chip_reset()
- e1000e in __e1000e_disable_aspm()
- r8169 in rtl_enable_clock_request()/rtl_disable_clock_request()

Is disabling the ASPM for the system the only option to make this minipcie
work?

Lorenzo
