From 2e0239d47d75e08f9a39f8360610e490c39ea696 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bjorn Helgaas Date: Mon, 29 Apr 2024 14:18:21 -0500 Subject: PCI/ASPM: Clarify that pcie_aspm=off means leave ASPM untouched Previously we claimed "pcie_aspm=off" meant that ASPM would be disabled, which is wrong. Correct this to say that with "pcie_aspm=off", Linux doesn't touch any ASPM configuration at all. ASPM may have been enabled by firmware, and that will be left unchanged. See "aspm_support_enabled".
