Assume an endpoint designed to CEM r2.0.  CLKREQ# doesn't exist in CEM
r2.0, so even if the endpoint is present and the link is up, the
endpoint will not assert CLKREQ#.

Will the i.MX host still work?

IIUC, CLKREQ# is required for ASPM L1 PM Substates.  Maybe the CLKREQ#
override should only be cleared if the endpoint advertises L1 PM
Substates support?

Sorry, I'm just really confused about this.  Here's another question:
Even if the endpoint is designed to CEM r4.0, it supports L1 PM
Substates, and it asserts CLKREQ#, my understanding is that the
endpoint won't assert CLKREQ# *all* the time.  For example, when the
link enters L1, the device deasserts CLKREQ# (CEM r5.0, sec 2.8.2).

What happens to the i.MX host when the endpoint isn't asserting
CLKREQ#?  I guess i.MX doesn't need refclk in that situation?
