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;
