Disable ASPM L0s support because it does not significantly save power
but impacts performance.

That may be a good idea but, without numbers to support your statement, it's a bit
difficult to say.

How much power does ASPM L0s save on MediaTek SoCs, in microwatts?
How is the performance impacted, and on which specific device(s) on the PCIe bus?

Cheers,
Angelo

This seems like a user/administrator decision, not a driver decision.

L0s reduces power at the cost of performance for *all* PCIe devices,
although the actual numbers may vary.

You should disable ASPM only if it is causing any functional issues to the SoC
itself. For other reasons, users will use the existing sysfs/cmdline params to
disable ASPM based on usecase if required.

It's hard to tell the exact number because it is difficult to measure,
and the number of entries into the L0s state may vary even in the same
test scenario.

However, we have encountered some compatibility issues when connected
with some PCIe EPs, and disabling the L0s can fix it. I think disabling
L0s might be the better way, since we usually use L1ss for power-saving 
when the link is idle.

Thanks.

We have encountered some compatibility issues when connected with some
PCIe EPs, these issues are probabilistic and disabling the L0s can fix
them.

Users may not be aware of these issues, so I think disabling L0s
through the driver might be the better way, since it does not
significantly save power and we usually use L1ss for power-saving when
the link is idle.

Thanks.
