Matthew Garrett ea5f9fc589 PCI: Default PCIe ASPM control to on and require !EMBEDDED to disable
The CONFIG_PCIEASPM option is confusing and potentially dangerous. ASPM is
a hardware mediated feature rather than one under direct OS control, and
even if the config option is disabled the system firmware may have turned
on ASPM on various bits of hardware. This can cause problems later -
various hardware that claims to support ASPM does a poor job of it and may
hang or cause other difficulties. The kernel is able to recognise this in
many cases and disable the ASPM functionality, but only if CONFIG_PCIEASPM
is enabled.

Given that in its default configuration this option will either leave the
hardware as it was originally or disable hardware functionality that may
cause problems, it should by default y. The only reason to disable it
ought to be to reduce code size, so make it dependent on CONFIG_EMBEDDED.

This automatically enables PCI Express Port Bus support. Users can
choose Native Hot-Plug support, Advanced Error Reporting support,
Power Management Event support and Virtual Channel support to run
on PCI Express Ports (Root or Switch).

Say Y here if you have a motherboard that supports PCI Express Native
Hotplug
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called pciehp.
When in doubt, say N.

config PCIEASPM
bool "PCI Express ASPM control" if EMBEDDED
depends on PCI && PCIEPORTBUS
default y
help
This enables OS control over PCI Express ASPM (Active State
Power Management) and Clock Power Management. ASPM supports
state L0/L0s/L1.
ASPM is initially set up the the firmware. With this option enabled,
Linux can modify this state in order to disable ASPM on known-bad
hardware or configurations and enable it when known-safe.
ASPM can be disabled or enabled at runtime via
/sys/module/pcie_aspm/parameters/policy
When in doubt, say Y.

This enables PCI Express ASPM debug support. It will add per-device
interface to control ASPM.
