Actually, I have taken same patches of yours which proposed and applied it correctly. Will try it with clean
build if that helps.

But what I could understand from following patch is https://patchwork.codeaurora.org/patch/207653/ 

We still have a flow of pci_aspm_init() -> alloc_pcie_link_state() -> pci_function_0()
Where I see the first Kernel NULL pointer crash while accessing pdev->subordinate in pci_function_0() function.

To mitigate that I included following code in it.

@@ -430,8 +439,11 @@ static struct pci_dev *pci_function_0(struct pci_bus *linkbus)
 {
 	struct pci_dev *child;
 
+	if (!linkbus)
+		return NULL;
+
 	list_for_each_entry(child, &linkbus->devices, bus_list)
		if (PCI_FUNC(child->devfn) == 0)
			return child;
 	return NULL;


Then I start seeing following error as pdev-> downstream stays NULL.
