Yes you are correct here.

On arm64 (previously I didn't realise this just affects arm64, not arm),
the changes in commit f075915ac0b11 ("PCI/MSI: Drop domain field from
msi_controller") and d8a1cb757550 ("PCI/MSI: Let pci_msi_get_domain use
struct device::msi_domain") return an uninitialized msi domain that leads
to the oops. It appears that these changes assume that msi interrupt
controller is separate from the PCI controller.
