Ever since introduction in the commit 0c8173385e54 ("rtl8192ce: Add new
driver") the rtlwifi code has, according to comments, attempted to
disable/enable ASPM of the upstream bridge by writing into its LNKCTL
register. However, the code has never been correct because it performs
the writes to the device instead of the upstream bridge.
Worse yet, the offset where the PCIe capabilities reside is derived
from the offset of the upstream bridge. As a result, the write will use
an offset on the device that does not relate to the LNKCTL register
making the ASPM disable/enable code outright dangerous.
Because of those problems, there is no indication that the driver needs
disable/enable ASPM on the upstream bridge. As the Capabilities offset
is not correctly calculated for the write to target device's LNKCTL
register, the code is not disabling/enabling device's ASPM either.
Therefore, just remove the upstream bridge related ASPM disable/enable
code entirely.
The upstream bridge related ASPM code was the only user of the struct
mp_adapter members num4bytes, pcibridge_pciehdr_offset, and
pcibridge_linkctrlreg so those are removed as well.
Note: This change does not remove the code related to changing the
device's ASPM on purpose (which is independent of this flawed code
related to upstream bridge's ASPM).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
