Selberg-type second-moment conjecture for prime coefficients

Let LS\mathcal{L}\in\mathcal{S}, and let a(p)a(p) denote its prime coefficients. Let CLP1(x)\mathcal{C}_{\mathcal{L}}^{P_1}(x) and CLP2\mathcal{C}_{\mathcal{L}}^{P_2} satisfy the stated growth and monotonicity conditions. Selberg-type second-moment conjecture. One has

pxa(p)2CLP1(x)xlogx+CLP2xlog2x\sum_{p\leq x}\left|a(p)\right|^2 \leq \mathcal{C}_{\mathcal{L}}^{P_1}(x)\frac{x}{\log{x}} + \mathcal{C}_{\mathcal{L}}^{P_2}\frac{x}{\log^{2}{x}}

for all x2x\geq 2. This is one of the additional assumptions used to obtain asymptotic estimates for LL-functions in the Selberg class; the supplied text does not state whether it has been proved or remains open.
