Subject: [PATCH net] r8169: switch off ASPM by default and add sysfs attribute
 to control ASPM

There are numerous reports about different problems caused by ASPM
incompatibilities between certain network chip versions and board
chipsets. On the other hand on (especially mobile) systems where ASPM
works properly it can significantly contribute to power-saving and
increased battery runtime.
One problem so far to make ASPM configurable was to find an acceptable
way of configuration (e.g. module parameters are discouraged for that
purpose).

As a new attempt let's switch off ASPM per default and make it
configurable by a sysfs attribute. The attribute is documented in
new file Documentation/networking/device_drivers/realtek/r8169.txt.

Fixes: a99790bf5c7f ("r8169: Reinstate ASPM Support")

+Driver-specific sysfs attributes
+================================
+
+rtl_aspm (bool)
+---------------
+
+Certain combinations of network chip versions and board chipsets result in
+increased packet latency, PCIe errors, or significantly reduced network
+performance. Therefore ASPM is off by default. On the other hand ASPM can
+significantly contribute to power-saving and thus increased battery
+runtime on notebooks. Therefore this sysfs attribute allows to switch on
+ASPM on systems where ASPM works properly. The attribute accepts any form
+of bool value, e.g. 1/y/on. See also kerneldoc of kstrtobool().
+Note that the attribute is accessible only if interface is up.
+Else network chip and PCIe link may be powered-down and not reachable.
