[PATCH 3/3] PCI/ACPI: Clarify message about _OSC failure

From: Bjorn Helgaas
Date: Tue Jan 26 2021 - 22:41:31 EST


From: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@xxxxxxxxxx>

This message:

acpi PNP0A08:02: _OSC failed (AE_NOT_FOUND); disabling ASPM

is alarming and slightly misleading. Per the PCI Firmware Spec, r3.2, sec
4.5.1, _OSC is required for PCIe hierarchies. If _OSC is absent or fails,
the OS must not attempt to use any of the features defined for _OSC. That
includes native hotplug, native PME, AER, and other things as well as ASPM.

Rephrase the message to:

acpi PNP0A08:02: _OSC: platform retains control of PCIe features (AE_NOT_FOUND)
