Thanks for testing. I think it means the enable count logic I put below
is not working.

I was trying to figure out when to use saved values vs. the values in
registers by looking at the enable_cnt.

enable_cnt is 0 during boot on my system.

The enable_cnt should have been non-zero following an insertion following
remove and default and enabled values should have been identical. 

Can you print out the values of pdev->aspm_default, link->aspm_default, 
and link->aspm_enabled in this function along with atomic_read(&pdev->enable_cnt)?
