[PATCH] PCI: imx6: enable ASPM L1 only iff CLKREQ# is supported

From: Michal Gorlas

Date: Sat Jul 18 2026 - 20:48:28 EST


Since commit f3ac2ff14834 ("PCI/ASPM: Enable all ClockPM and ASPM
states for devicetree platforms"), ASPM states are force enabled
on all devicetree platforms. This causes PCI devices on some iMX SoCs
(for e.g. iMX 8M Plus Kontron SMARC eval carrier) to enter L1 even
though CLKREQ# is not supported (and consequently supports-clkreq is
not set in pcie controller node of their DT), which causes the device to
never wake up from L1.

Hence, disable L1 capability in the LINKCAP register if supports-clkreq
is not set in the DT explicitly.

Note, the logic here is very similar to 613f3255a35a, only difference
is that leaving L0s enabled does not cause issues (at least
I never encountered them myself when testing on the device) as its
not dependent on CLKREQ# being physically there.
Since there is already a way of specifying its presence in the DT,
the driver should be aware and disable L1.
