We also discuss similar thing in this thread: 
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215131

Since we still want to turn on ASPM to save more power, I would like to 
enumerate the blacklist. Does it work to you?
If so, please help to add one quirk entry of your platform.

Another thing is that "attachment 299735" is another workaround for certain
platform. And, we plan to add quirk to enable this workaround.
Could you try if it works to you?

Thank you
