PCI/ASPM: Calculate LTR_L1.2_THRESHOLD from device characteristics
Per PCIe r3.1, sec 5.5.1, LTR_L1.2_THRESHOLD determines whether we enter the L1.2 Link state: if L1.2 is enabled and downstream devices have reported that they can tolerate latency of at least LTR_L1.2_THRESHOLD, we must enter L1.2 when CLKREQ# is de-asserted. The implication is that LTR_L1.2_THRESHOLD is the time required to transition the Link from L0 to L1.2 and back to L0, and per sec 5.5.3.3.1, Figures 5-16 and 5-17, it appears that the absolute minimum time for those transitions would be T(POWER_OFF) + T(L1.2) + T(POWER_ON) + T(COMMONMODE). Therefore, compute LTR_L1.2_THRESHOLD as: 2us T(POWER_OFF) + 4us T(L1.2) + T(POWER_ON) + T(COMMONMODE) = LTR_L1.2_THRESHOLD Previously we set LTR_L1.2_THRESHOLD to a fixed value of 163840ns (163.84us): #define LTR_L1_2_THRESHOLD_BITS ((1 << 21) | (1 << 23) | (1 << 30)) ((1 << 21) | (1 << 23) | (1 << 30)) = 0x40a00000 LTR_L1.2_THRESHOLD_Value = (0x40a00000 & 0x03ff0000) >> 16 = 0xa0 = 160 LTR_L1.2_THRESHOLD_Scale = (0x40a00000 & 0xe0000000) >> 29 = 0x2 (* 1024ns) LTR_L1.2_THRESHOLD = 160 * 1024ns = 163840ns Obviously this doesn't account for the circuit characteristics of different implementations. Note that while firmware may enable LTR, Linux itself currently does not enable LTR. When L1.2 is enabled but LTR is not, LTR_L1.2_THRESHOLD is ignored and we always enter L1.2 when it is enabled and CLKREQ# is de-asserted. So this patch should not have any effect unless firmware enables LTR.
