Got it.

I'm going to make the title something like:

   arm64: PCI: Support root bridge preparation for Hyper-V PCI

works for you? Also I will add comment inside the function as
explanation.

For Hyper-V virtual PCI host bridges, neither DT or ACPI is used to
describe them, a hypervisor-specific mechanism (VMBus) is used to
enumerate PCI host bridges. So actually on x86, Hyper-V PCI host
bridge's ACPI companion is set as NULL.

Ok, I will add a better explanation in the commit log in the next
version. Thanks!
