Hi thanks for fixing this, but I found the following commit now has the Subject line
and commit message same as a previous patch.

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/commit/drivers?id=87b20a08dcc265959f5c59f18603ea0487fe609b

The correct message for the patch should be the msg below. Any possibility to 
fix it again?  Thanks.

Subject:  PCI: hv: Use bytes 4 and 5 from instance ID as the PCI domain numbers

As recommended by Azure host team, the bytes 4, 5 have more uniqueness
(info entropy) than bytes 8, 9. So now we use bytes 4, 5 as the PCI domain
numbers. On older hosts, bytes 4, 5 can also be used -- no backward
compatibility issues here. The chance of collision is greatly reduced.

In the rare cases of collision, the driver code detects and finds another
number that is not in use.
