This patch only affects qcom.  Is PCIE20_PARF_PM_CTRL qcom-specific?
Or is this something that should be done for all dwc-based drivers?

In fact, it only affects Qcom IP rev 2.7.0 and 1.9.0 (the only users
of qcom_pcie_init_2_7_0()).  I guess the other revisions don't support
ASPM L1 at all?

Does this patch affect the Link Capabilities register?  Before this
patch, does Link Cap advertise L1 support but enabling it doesn't
work?  Or does it not even advertise L1 support?

After this patch, I assume Link Cap advertises L1 support and enabling
L1 and L1 substates via PCI_EXP_LNKCTL_ASPM_L1,
PCI_L1SS_CTL1_ASPM_L1_1, and PCI_L1SS_CTL1_ASPM_L1_2 works per spec,
right?
