Looks like we don't need the parent and fwnode parameter since we can
get them from bus->dev 😊

So, it will be
bus device
    -> master device
         -> slave device
right?

I have a question here. We have pm supported on bus and slave devices,
but not master device. Will pm work with this architecture?
Can it be
bus device
    -> master device & slave device?
