After my DT cleanup we no longer use platform_dev_alloc for DT cases.
As Nand node is child of GPMC node, omap2 nand's parent is guaranteed to be the
GPMC device.

But for legacy boot we still use gpmc_nand_init() which calls platform_device_add()
without setting pdev->parent and so it will set the parent to platform bus.

Maybe we could patch gpmc_nand_init() to set NAND's parent to GPMC device?
