mb/google/guybrush: Disable WLAN ASPM 

ASPM on the WLAN PCIe bus introduces large latency spikes, which can be
measured with cyclictest:

$ cyclictest --policy=rr --priority=12 --interval=10000 --threads=1 --loops=6000

Disabling ASPM for WLAN reduces the latency spikes from 2,500-3,000 usec
down to 35-65 usec. These latency spikes can impact the user when
real-time processes like Audio (cras) are starved of CPU time, leading
to buffer underruns resulting in crackling/distorted audio.

ASPM is already disabled for Nipperkin devices (CB:63537), so this CL
disables it for both in the shared declaration of
guybrush_czn_dxio_descriptors.

Power impact for Dewatt:

* ASPM enabled

    power_VideoCall.FDO_25min_webrtc
    w_energy_rate 7.425043688811071

    power_Idle.default20min
    wh_energy_used 1.4164200000000022

* ASPM disabled

    power_VideoCall.FDO_25min_webrtc
    w_energy_rate 8.779998551703423

    power_Idle.default20min
    wh_energy_used 1.4860800000000012

When using Google Meet over WiFi, power increases by ~1.5W.
