Looks good in general, however:

We recently had this discussion in I2C world about using the parent if
the (logical) device has a NULL fw_node [1]. I don't know if the other
subsystems you modify use logical devices as well? If no, it seems we
need an additional check for the parent in the I2C core only. If yes,
this might be considered in your patchset?

Thanks,
