Subject line should say what the patch *does*, not what *should*
happen.

No need for timestamps in commit log because they're not relevant to
this issue. Please use quote style, i.e., blank line before and after
the quote and indent the quote two spaces:

Startup log of ... shows:

ACPI FADT declares the system doesn't support PCIe ASPM, so disable it
...
pcieport 0000:00:1c.5: PCIe Bus Error: severity=Corrected, type=Physical Layer, (Receiver ID)

Can you please open a report at https://bugzilla.kernel.org and attach
the complete dmesg log and the complete "sudo lspci -vv" output before
and after this patch? Then include the bugzilla URL in the commit
log.

I assume the patch prevents the RxErr from being reported, but I'd
like to know why, or at least have a plausible explanation of how
enabling ASPM might lead to a Receiver Error.

I'd also like to know why the "can't find device of ID00e5" happens.

Since it's not obvious from the patch, mention that "reporting ASPM
support to BIOS" happens via the _OSC Support field.
