I see. 0x6738 is for the AMD Radeon HD 6800 series.

It could be, that your patch works because I tested it with an AMD Radeon HD5870 instead of an AMD Radeon HD6870. Sorry 

This could be the correct line for the HD5870:

>> DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_FINAL(PCI_VENDOR_ID_ATI, 0x6898, quirk_disable_aspm_all);

There are some more id numbers for the HD5870.

Correct:
