At least you didn’t document what the real issue is, that ASPM does not 
work. With current information (some GPU graphics card with the the Dell 
system and others don’t), it could be the GPU, the Dell system 
(firmware, …), a problem with Alder Lake SOC, or another bug. I hope you 
are in contact with Dell to analyze it, so ASPM can be enabled again.
