Do you mean this warning?

  WARNING: Missing a blank line after declarations
  #967: FILE: drivers/pci/pcie/aspm.c:967:
  +	struct pcie_link_state *link;
  +	BUG_ON(root->pdev->bus->parent->self);

That's just complaining about a blank line, so no big deal.  You could
resolve that by adding the blank line in this patch.

The fact that we use BUG_ON() at all *is* a real problem.  See the
comments at the BUG() definition.  We should rework this so that
condition is either impossible and we can just remove the BUG_ON(), or
we can deal with it gracefully.  But this would be material for a
different patch.

I love the direction of this patch, but this chain of pointers
(link->pdev->bus->parent->self) is a little over the top and is
repeated several times here.

Can we simplify it a bit by making a helper function?  It's similar
but not quite the same as pci_upstream_bridge().

And maybe reverse the condition to avoid the negation?

  link = parent ? parent->link_state : NULL;
