[PATCH v3] PCI/ASPM: Enable ASPM for bridge-to-bridge link

[Kai-Heng Feng <kai.heng.feng@canonical.com>]

The TI PCIe-to-PCI bridge prevents the Intel SoC from entering power
state deeper than PC3 due to disabled ASPM, consumes lots of unnecessary
power. On Windows ASPM L1 is enabled on the device and its upstream
bridge, so it can make the Intel SoC reach PC8 or PC10 to save lots of
power.

In short, ASPM always gets disabled on bridge-to-bridge link.

The special case was part of first ASPM introduction patch, commit
7d715a6c1ae5 ("PCI: add PCI Express ASPM support"). However, it didn't
explain why ASPM needs to be disabled in special bridge-to-bridge case.

Let's remove the the special case, as PCIe spec already envisioned ASPM
on bridge-to-bridge link.

v3:
 - Remove the special case completely.

v2: 
 - Enable ASPM on root complex <-> bridge <-> bridge, instead of using
   quirk.
