No, the links being created here are fwnode links. Also, when a fwnode
is parsed (because the device corresponding to it is added), the whole
fwnode tree under it is also parsed. So the device in question won't
be either the consumer or the supplier when the log is printed. So the
device will just be some random ancestor up the parent chain.
