This is queued up for the v5.5 merge window, so if we want to tweak
anything (path names or otherwise), now is the time.

I think I might be inclined to change the directory from "link_pm" to
"link", e.g.,

  - /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:1c.0/link_pm/clkpm
  + /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:1c.0/link/clkpm

because there are other things that haven't been merged yet that could
go in link/ as well:

  * Mika's "link disable" control [1]
  * Dilip's link width/speed controls [2,3]

The max_link_speed, max_link_width, current_link_speed,
current_link_width files could also logically be in link/, although
they've already been merged at the top level.

Rajat's AER statistics change [4] is also coming.  Those stats aren't
link-related, so they wouldn't go in link/.  The current strawman is
an "aer_stats" directory, but I wonder if we should make a more
generic directory like "errors" that could be used for both AER and
DPC and potentially other error-related things.

For example, we could have these link-related things:

  /sys/.../0000:00:1c.0/link/clkpm            # RW ASPM stuff
  /sys/.../0000:00:1c.0/link/l0s_aspm
  /sys/.../0000:00:1c.0/link/...
  /sys/.../0000:00:1c.0/link/disable          # RW Mika
  /sys/.../0000:00:1c.0/link/speed            # RW Dilip's control
  /sys/.../0000:00:1c.0/link/width            # RW Dilip's control
  /sys/.../0000:00:1c.0/link/max_speed        # RO possible rework
  /sys/.../0000:00:1c.0/link/max_width        # RO possible rework

With these backwards compatibility symlinks:

  /sys/.../0000:00:1c.0/max_link_speed     -> link/max_speed
  /sys/.../0000:00:1c.0/current_link_speed -> link/speed

Rajat's current patch puts the AER stats here at the top level:

  /sys/.../0000:00:1c.0/aer_stats/fatal_bit4_DLP

But maybe we could push them down like this:

  /sys/.../0000:00:1c.0/errors/aer/stats/unc_04_dlp
  /sys/.../0000:00:1c.0/errors/aer/stats/unc_26_poison_tlb_blocked
  /sys/.../0000:00:1c.0/errors/aer/stats/cor_00_rx_err
  /sys/.../0000:00:1c.0/errors/aer/stats/cor_15_hdr_log_overflow

There are some AER-related things we don't have at all today that
could go here:

  /sys/.../0000:00:1c.0/errors/aer/ecrc_gen
  /sys/.../0000:00:1c.0/errors/aer/ecrc_check
  /sys/.../0000:00:1c.0/errors/aer/unc_err_status
  /sys/.../0000:00:1c.0/errors/aer/unc_err_mask
  /sys/.../0000:00:1c.0/errors/aer/unc_err_sev

And we might someday want DPC knobs like this:

  /sys/.../0000:00:1c.0/errors/dpc/status
  /sys/.../0000:00:1c.0/errors/dpc/error_source

Any thoughts?
