Hi Niklas,

another regression caused by bandwidth control was reported,
this time it's a hang on shutdown (instead of on boot) and
this time we root-caused it instead of just working around it.

Here's the proposed fix:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/0ee5faf5395cad8d29fb66e1ec444c8d882a4201.1735852688.git.lukas@wunner.de/

Could you test this on top of v6.13-rc1 (or any other rc which
does not include 774c71c52aa4 ("PCI/bwctrl: Enable only if more
than one speed is supported")?

I suspect that it may fix the issue you were seeing as well and
I'm curious whether that suspicion is correct.

Thanks!

Lukas
