Some other places in pcie/aspm (e.g., pcie_set_clkpm_nocheck() and
pcie_clkpm_cap_init()) check cpos for NULL. Your code looks
superficially similar, so maybe you should check it, too, although
I do see many other place in aspm where we *don't* check it.

We look up this capability so often, I wonder if we should save it
in the struct pci_dev or struct pcie_link or something in such a
way that if we have a struct pcie_link, we are guaranteed that there
is a PCIe capability, and we don't have to search for it again.
