I wonder whether anybody actually wants to disable ASPM support.
In an old Kconfig commit message is mentioned that it may help
to reduce kernel size of embedded systems. However I would
think that on embedded systems ASPM is quite useful as it
saves significant power and may result in a lower system
temperature therefore.
W/o ASPM support we have to live with devices coming up
in whatever mode boot loader or firmware configure.

It means that we can still have an option to specify one of
PCIEASPM_DEFAULT/PERFORMANCE/POWERSAVE/POWER_SUPERSAVE configs right?

Yes, these config options would remain.
PCIEASPM has a dependency on PCIEPORTBUS, so the idea would be to
build ASPM support whenever PCIEPORTBUS is defined.

What would be the advantage of dropping CONFIG_PCIEASPM? I don't
think it really costs us much to keep it. I do agree most systems
probably want it.
