This assignment is the more peculiar as it assigns the parent of the platform-device's device (i.e. pdev->dev.parent) as the IIO device's parent. Since the devm_iio_device_alloc() [now] assigns the device argument as the default parent (and since this is the more common case), for cases where the parent needs to be different, the iio_device_set_parent helper should be used. That makes things a bit more obvious about the new behavior of devm_iio_device_alloc() and makes it clearer that iio_device_set_parent() should be used.
