You're right if chip->of_node is not set it will eventually be set to
node of the parent device.

In case of the BCM driver the parent device is the pinctrl device and
the node is a children (if that is correct I cannot say). So, in this
case you cannot use the node of the parent, because that would be the
pinctrl one.

You could just use
   chip->of_node = dev_of_node(config->parent)

But then it is not obvious that it is optional. Hence my suggestion
to explicitly set to the parent of_node if none is supplied.
