It's hard to tell the exact number because it is difficult to measure,
and the number of entries into the L0s state may vary even in the same
test scenario.

However, we have encountered some compatibility issues when connected
with some PCIe EPs, and disabling the L0s can fix it. I think disabling
L0s might be the better way, since we usually use L1ss for power-saving
when the link is idle.

Thanks.
