I'm afraid I can't spot such an assignment in the file (nor the two
similar ones further down). All I can see is 

    pci->domain = domain;
    pci->bus = bus;
    pci->dev = dev;
    pci->func = func;

I'm afraid I also can't spot a variable named "dom", nor a sufficiently
similar if(). May I ask what code base these were observed with? Is the
change needed at all anymore?

Also - which compiler did you encounter this with?

Finally please don't forget to Cc maintainers.
