GL9763E enters ASPM L1 state after a very short idle in default, even
during a burst of request.

Yes, we considered that having high performance is more important than
saving power during a burst of request.
So we increased the idle period for 260us, by setting 0x3FF to the
ASPM L1 entry delay bits of our vendor-specific register.
Anyway, GL9763E can still enter ASPM L1 state by a longer idle.

Thanks for reviewing.
