Please find the attached files (before_aspm_patch.txt &
after_aspm_patch.txt) with 'dmesg' and 'lspci -vvv' info.
BTW, my understanding is that this issue (enabling ASPM while booting)
exists for all the devices which are in D0 state.
Please correct my understanding if it's wrong.
Though, enabling aspm through writing 'powersave' to
'/sys/module/pcie_aspm/parameters' is working fine always.
