I really don't fancy the idea of us allocating on behalf of our
grandparent here, as you show it's not certain that our grandparent is
what someone originally expected it to be.
With the purpose of being able to control these allocations there is an
ongoing discussion related to this, which I believe will result in this
being changed to at least vdev->dev.parent..
I do expect that this discussion will be brought up during Linaro
Connect the coming week.
