Can this ever happen ? Isn't this driver instantiated from its parent,
which would ensure that the parent's driver data is set ?

No this can't happen. I replaced it with BUG_ON and also introduced a
BUG_ON check for dev.parent.

That is a bit too much. You should only use BUG_ON if the kernel can not
continue to run, which should not be the case here. I would suggest
to return -ENODEV.
