A modern Linux system creates much more than 20 threads at bootup.
When I booted up OpenWrt in qemu the system sometimes failed to boot up
when it wanted to create the 419th thread. The VM had 128MB RAM and the
calculation in set_max_threads() calculated that max_threads should be
set to 419. When the system booted up it tried to notify the user space
about every device it created because CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER was set and
used. I counted 1299 calls to call_usermodehelper_setup(), all of
them try to create a new thread and call the userspace hotplug script in
it.
This fixes bootup of Linux on systems with low memory.
I saw the problem with qemu 10.0.2 using these commands:
qemu-system-aarch64 -machine virt -cpu cortex-a57 -nographic

Unfortunately some systems have left the factory with an uninitialized
value of 0xFFFF at register address 0x3F (checksum word location).
So on Tiger Lake platform we ignore the computed checksum when such
condition is encountered.

Hi,
This series switches the Qcom PCIe controller driver to bus notifier for
enabling ASPM (and updating OPP) for PCI devices. This series is intented
to fix the ASPM regression reported (offlist) on the Qcom compute platforms
running Linux. It turned out that the ASPM enablement logic in the Qcom
controller driver had a flaw that got triggered by the recent changes to the
pwrctrl framework (more details in patch 1/1).
Testing
-------
I've tested this series on Thinkpad T14s laptop and able to observe ASPM state
changes (through controller debugfs entry and lspci) for the WLAN device.
