[PATCH rtw-next 0/3] wifi: rtlwifi: fix ASPM AER flooding on RTL8723BE devices
From: William Hansen-Baird
Date: Sun Jun 14 2026 - 09:55:34 EST
This flood of AER error messages for the RTL8723BE is not unique to
subsystem ID 17aa:b736.
Commit 77a6407c6ab2 ("wifi: rtlwifi: disable ASPM for RTL8723BE with subsystem ID 11ad:1723")
targets the same issue for subsystem ID 11ad:1723.
The fix applied in that commit, however, does not correctly
disable ASPM. It merely disables driver control of ASPM.
Patch 1 fixes the previous commit such that it properly disables ASPM for
subsystem ID 11ad:1723.
Patch 2 converts the if-statement check of subsystem IDs to a
pci_device_id table matched with pci_match_id() such that future
subsystem IDs can easily be added if they have the same error.
Patch 3 adds the subsystem ID 17aa:b736 to the pci_device_id table
to disable ASPM for it. Testing on a Razer Blade 14 2017 showed this
stops the AER error message flood and wifi works as it should.
