All this seems to be legacy code copied from e1000e.
Fiddling with the low-level PCI(e) registers should be left to the
PCI core. It shouldn't be needed here, a simple call to
pci_disable_link_state() should be sufficient. Note that this function
has a return value meanwhile that you can check instead of reading
back low-level registers.
If BIOS forbids that OS changes ASPM settings, then this should be
respected (like PCI core does). Instead the network chip may provide
the option to configure whether it activates certain ASPM (sub-)states
or not. We went through a similar exercise with the r8169 driver,
you can check how it's done there.

ack, I will add it to v2

looking at the vendor sdk (at least in the version I currently have) there are
no particular ASPM configurations, it just optionally disables it writing directly
in pci registers.
Moreover there are multiple drivers that are currently using this approach:
- ath9k in ath_pci_aspm_init()
- tg3 in tg3_chip_reset()
- e1000e in __e1000e_disable_aspm()
- r8169 in rtl_enable_clock_request()/rtl_disable_clock_request()

Is disabling the ASPM for the system the only option to make this minipcie
work?

Lorenzo

All these drivers include quite some legacy code. I can mainly speak for r8169:
First versions of the driver are almost as old as Linux. And even though I
refactored most of the driver still some legacy code for older chip versions
(like the two functions you mentioned) is included.

> Is disabling the ASPM for the system the only option to make this minipcie

No. What we do in r8169:

- call pci_disable_link_state(pdev, PCIE_LINK_STATE_L0S | PCIE_LINK_STATE_L1)
- If it returns 0, then ASPM (including the L1 sub-states) is disabled.
- If it returns an errno, then disabling ASPM failed (most likely due to
  BIOS forbidding ASPM changes - pci_disable_link_state will spit out
  a related warning). In this case r8169 configures the chip to not initiate
  transitions to L0s/L1 (the other end of the link may still try to enter
  ASPM states). See rtl_hw_aspm_clkreq_enable(). That's sufficient
  to avoid the ASPM-related problems with certain versions of this chip.
  Maybe your HW provides similar functionality.

yep, I looked at rtl_hw_aspm_clkreq_enable. This is more or less what I did but
unfortunately there is no specific code or documentation I can use for mt76x2e.
So as last chance I decided to disable ASPM directly (in this way the chip is
working fine).
Do you think a kernel parameter to disable ASPM directly would be acceptable?

Module parameters are not the preferred approach, even though some maintainers
may consider it acceptable. I think it should be ok if you disable ASPM per
default. Who wants ASPM can enable the individual states via brand-new
sysfs attributes (provided BIOS allows OS to control ASPM).
However changing ASPM settings via direct register writes may cause
inconsistencies between PCI core and actual settings.
I'm not sure whether there's any general best practice how to deal with the
scenario that a device misbehaves with ASPM enabled and OS isn't allowed to
change ASPM settings. 
Maybe the PCI guys can advise on these points.

Hi Heiner,

I reviewed the mtk sdk and it seems mt7662/mt7612/mt7602 series does not
have hw pcie ps support (not sure if it just not implemented or so). In my
scenario without disabling ASPM the card does not work at all, so I guess we
can proceed with current approach and then try to understand if we can do
something better. What do you think?

@Ryder, Sean: do you have any hint on this topic?

Lorenzo

If there's no proper way to deal with the issue, then you may have to go with
the current approach. Just what you could do is calling pci_disable_link_state()
first and do the direct register modification limbo only as a fallback if
function returns an errno or CONFIG_PCIEASPM isn't defined.

It may make sense to change the return value of the pci_disable_link_state
dummy if CONFIG_PCIEASPM isn't defined: from 0 to e.g. -EOPNOTSUPP
Then in the driver it wouldn't be needed to check CONFIG_PCIEASPM.

Interestingly in mt76x2/pci.c there's the following:

/* Fix up ASPM configuration */

	/* RG_SSUSB_G1_CDR_BIR_LTR = 0x9 */
	mt76_rmw_field(dev, 0x15a10, 0x1f << 16, 0x9);

	/* RG_SSUSB_G1_CDR_BIC_LTR = 0xf */
	mt76_rmw_field(dev, 0x15a0c, 0xf << 28, 0xf);

	/* RG_SSUSB_CDR_BR_PE1D = 0x3 */
	mt76_rmw_field(dev, 0x15c58, 0x3 << 6, 0x3);

Would be helpful to know what this does and whether it may need to be adjusted.
At least in your case this fix attempt doesn't seem to be sufficient.

Hi Heiner,

ack, will do in v2

unfortunately not.
