If the device is the last PCIe function to be removed below a bridge and the bridge has an ASPM link_state struct, we disable ASPM on the link. Disabling ASPM requires link->downstream (used in pcie_config_aspm_link()). We previously set link->downstream in pcie_aspm_cap_init(), but only if the device was not blacklisted. Removing the blacklisted device caused a NULL pointer dereference in the pcie_aspm_exit_link_state() -> pcie_config_aspm_link() path: # echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:0b\:00.0/remove ...
