/*
 * Bind devm lifetime to this platform device => use dev for devm.
 * also the prints should originate from this device.
 */
dev = &pdev->dev;
/* The device-tree and regmap come from MFD => use parent for that */
parent = dev->parent;

Maybe adding dev and parent variables + comments would clear it up?
