Bug description:
[Impact]
The r8169 driver disables the ASPM on old Realtek NIC chips, because on some
platforms it may lead to the network speed or the system stability issue.
But disable ASPM leads to the system can't enter deeper sleep mode which
leads to power consumption issue and can't pass Energy Start 8/9.
[Fix]
Added the verified machines to the r8169 ASPM quirk to enable the ASPM.
We've been requesting a solution from Realtek for a long time, but
they still haven't provided one. As a result, we have no choice but to
continue adding machines to the quirk.
[Test]
Boot up and check the device by lspci -vvnn

The L1SubCtl1 shows "PCI-PM_L1.2- PCI-PM_L1.1- ASPM_L1.2- ASPM_L1.1-" means
those features are disabled.
With the patches kernel, it shows

[Where problems could occur]
The Realtek NIC ASPM issue is well-known and enabling it can lead to various
problems. Both we and the ODM have extensively tested these platforms, but
there is still a small chance that unexpected issues may occur.
