Subject: [PATCH V7 0/4] PCI: vmd: Enable PCIe ASPM and LTR on select hardware

This series adds a work around for enabling PCIe ASPM and for setting PCIe
LTR values on VMD reserved root ports on select platforms. While
configuration of these capabilities is usually done by BIOS, on these
platforms these capabilities will not be configured because the ports are
not visible to BIOS. This was part of an initial design that expected the
driver to completely handle the ports, including power management. However
on Linux those ports are still managed by the PCIe core, which has the
expectation that they adhere to device standards including BIOS
configuration, leading to this problem.

The target platforms are Tiger Lake, Alder Lake, and Raptor Lake though the
latter has already implemented support for configuring the LTR values.
Meteor Lake is expected add BIOS ASPM support, eliminating the future need
for this work around.

Note, the driver programs the LTRs because BIOS would also normally do this
for devices that do not set them by default. Without this, SoC power
management would be blocked on those platform. This SoC specific value is
the maximum latency required to allow the SoC to enter the deepest power
state.

This patch addresses the following open bugzillas on VMD enabled laptops
that cannot enter low power states.
