Some PMUs have well defined parents such as PCI devices. As the device_initialize() and device_add() are all within pmu_dev_alloc() which is called from perf_pmu_register() there is no opportunity to set the parent from within a driver. Add a struct device *parent field to struct pmu and use that to set the parent.
