You are going to walk the whole device tree backwards? That's crazy.
And foolish. And racy and broken (what happens if the tree changes
while you do this?) Where is the lock being grabbed while this happens?
What about reference counts? Do you see other drivers ever doing this
(if you do, point them out and I'll go yell at them too...)

Ick.
Why isn't your parent pointer a vmbus device all the time? How could
you get burried down in the device hierarchy when you are the driver for
a specific bus type in the first place? How could this function ever be
called for a device that is NOT of this type?
