Sorry, stupid questions from the regression tracker: wouldn't this cause
a regression for users of kernel versions post-bf3747ae2e25, as the
power consumption is likely to increase for them? Without having dug
into the backstory much: would disabling ASPM for this particular
machine using a quirk be the better approach? Or are we assuming a lot
of machines are affected?

Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat)

P.S.: As the Linux kernel's regression tracker I'm getting a lot of
reports on my table. I can only look briefly into most of them and lack
knowledge about most of the areas they concern. I thus unfortunately
will sometimes get things wrong or miss something important. I hope
that's not the case here; if you think it is, don't hesitate to tell me
in a public reply, it's in everyone's interest to set the public record
straight.
