Right. Before that commit, msi->domain is the domain of the children PCI
devices, and msi->domain->parent is the domain of this device.

That commit changed msi->domain to be the domain of this
device. msi->domain->parent does not exist anymore.

drivers/pci/controller/pcie-xilinx.c has the same issue, let me send a
patch..
