Thanks for the patch.

Nit: the commit ID is missing the digit 7 as the first number.

While at it, the Fixes lines should written as a single line

Fixes: 7c5925afbc58 ("PCI: dwc: Move MSI IRQs allocation to IRQ
domains hierarchical API")

The " " symbols for the commit Subject is also missing in the commit log.
