These ath drivers all have the form:

  1) read LNKCTL
  2) save LNKCTL value in ->link_ctl
  3) write LNKCTL with "->link_ctl & ~PCI_EXP_LNKCTL_ASPMC"
     to disable ASPM
  4) write LNKCTL with ->link_ctl, presumably to re-enable ASPM

These patches close the hole between 1) and 3) where other LNKCTL
updates could interfere, which is definitely a good thing.

But the hole between 1) and 4) is much bigger and still there.  Any
update by the PCI core in that interval would be lost.

Straw-man proposal:

  - Change pci_disable_link_state() so it ignores aspm_disabled and
    always disables ASPM even if platform firmware hasn't granted
    ownership.  Maybe this should warn and taint the kernel.

  - Change drivers to use pci_disable_link_state() instead of writing
    LNKCTL directly.
