Hi Remi,
I am a bit confused, so you are saying that the LTSSM flag in the
LMI config register can't be used to detect when training is completed ?
Certainly it can't be used by ASPM core that relies on:
PCI_EXP_LNKSTA_LT flag
in the PCI_EXP_LNKSTA register, and that's what you are setting through
this timeout mechanism IIUC.
Please elaborate on that.
I am picking Bjorn's brain on this patch since what you are doing
seems quite arbitrary and honestly it is a bit of a hack.
I wonder whether it is not better to avoid advertising ASPM support.
