How do you know what the endpoint device is?  Is this driver only for
a specific embedded configuration where the endpoint is always
soldered down?  There's no possibility of this RC being used with a
connector?

Shouldn't this be either discoverable or configurable via DT or
something?  pcie_aspm_configure_common_clock() seems to do something
similar, but I can't really vouch for its correctness.
