I would make the subject:
Revert "PCI: hv: Use device serial number as PCI domain"
so it matches the original commit. Otherwise you really need quite a
lot of driver internal knowledge to connect them.

Possible alternate text:
The reason for that patch was to have a consistent and short name
for the device, but Hyper-V doesn't provide unique serial numbers
(in spite of the code comment claiming that it does). Using
non-unique serial numbers as domain IDs leads to duplicate device
addresses, which causes PCI bus registration to fail.

I think the above sentence is redundant and could be removed.
