This check is removed and not moved into sdw_master_device_add() either, can you add here or in patch 1 and keep checking the parent device please
We will set bus->dev = &md->dev in the end of sdw_master_device_add(). That's why we remove the test. But now I am wandering does it make sense to set bus->dev = &md->dev? Maybe it makes more sense to set bus->dev = sdw control device. A follow up question is that should slave device a child of bus device or master device? I would prefer bus device if it makes sense. I will check bus->dev and parent and remove bus->dev = &md->dev in the next version.

Looking at this and empty sdw_master_device_release() above, makes me wonder if it is a wise move? Should we rather allocate the sdw_master_device() and then free that up in sdw_master_device_release() or it is really overkill given that this is called when we remove the sdw_bus instance as well...
Yes, I will allocate sdw_master_device here and free it in sdw_master_device_release().
- md = &bus->md;
- md->dev.bus = &sdw_bus_type;
- md->dev.type = &sdw_master_type;
- md->dev.parent = parent;
- md->dev.of_node = parent->of_node;
- md->dev.fwnode = fwnode;
- md->dev.dma_mask = parent->dma_mask;
- dev_set_name(&md->dev, "sdw-master-%d", bus->link_id);
This give nice sdw-master-0. In DT this comes from reg property. I dont seem to recall if the ACPI/Disco spec treats link_id as unique across the system, can you check that please, if not we would need to update this.
Sure, I will check it.
