Subject: Question on generic PCI ACPI/DT device property wrt ASPM
Date: Tue, 16 Sep 2025 21:48:06 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5b00870c-be1a-42d6-8857-48b89716d5e2@gmail.com> (raw)

There are drivers (in my case r8169) disabling ASPM for a device per default
because there are known issues on a number of systems. However on other
systems ASPM works flawlessly, and vendors (especially of notebooks) would
like to (re-)enable ASPM for this device on such systems.

Reference:

Realtek NICs are used on more or less every consumer device, and maintaining
long DMI-based whitelists wouldn't be too nice.

Therefore idea is to use a device property (working title: aspm-is-safe), that
can be set via ACPI or DT. In my case it's a PCIe NIC, but in general the
property could be applicable on every PCIe device.
So question is to which schema such a property would belong. Here?
