CC again original CC, no need to have a private conversation about this
Joe...


Yes, bonding have a NULL dev->dev.parent, I suspect other virtual
network device also have this property.


You can see in following patch Arjan's intent, and the difference
between :

dev->name and netdev_drivername(dev, drivername, 64))

    net: Print the module name as part of the watchdog message
    
    As suggested by Dave:
    
    This patch adds a function to get the driver name from a struct net_device,
    and consequently uses this in the watchdog timeout handler to print as
    part of the message.
