This definitely looks like code that should not be in a driver.
Drivers shouldn't need to touch ASPM or LTR configuration unless
there's a device defect to work around, and that should use a PCI core
interface. Depending on what the defect is, we may need to add a new
interface.

This clear/set of PCI_EXP_DEVCTL2_LTR_EN when it was already set could
work around some kind of device defect, or it could be a hint that
something in the PCI core is broken. Maybe the core is configuring
ASPM/LTR incorrectly.
