    PCI: Default PCIe ASPM control to on and require !EMBEDDED to disable · ea5f9fc5
    Matthew Garrett 提交于
    The CONFIG_PCIEASPM option is confusing and potentially dangerous. ASPM is
    a hardware mediated feature rather than one under direct OS control, and
    even if the config option is disabled the system firmware may have turned
    on ASPM on various bits of hardware. This can cause problems later -
    various hardware that claims to support ASPM does a poor job of it and may
    hang or cause other difficulties. The kernel is able to recognise this in
    many cases and disable the ASPM functionality, but only if CONFIG_PCIEASPM
    is enabled.
    
    Given that in its default configuration this option will either leave the
    hardware as it was originally or disable hardware functionality that may
    cause problems, it should by default y. The only reason to disable it
    ought to be to reduce code size, so make it dependent on CONFIG_EMBEDDED.
