Subject: [PATCH V5 0/3] PCI: vmd: Enable PCIE ASPM and LTR

This series adds support for enabling PCIE ASPM and for setting PCIE LTR
values on devices on root ports reserved by VMD. Configuration of these
capabilities is usually done by BIOS. But for VMD ports these capabilities
will not be configured because those ports are not visible to BIOS. For
future products, post Alder Lake, the hardware team has agreed to do this
enabling in BIOS.  But this will not apply to current products, so this
work around is provided for them. Without this, laptops running in VMD mode
will not be able to power gate roots ports, resulting in higher power
consumption.

Since V4 we have more information from the BIOS team as to why BIOS
needs to program device LTRs. This is something that should be done by
devices, but there are many that don't provide LTR values causing them
to block SoC level power management. BIOS sets an initial default LTR to
account for such devices. This SoC specific value is the maximum latency
required to allow the SoC to enter the deepest power state.
