this was my first though, but was not sure if it's correct as dev_err_probe() will use dev
to store defer reason, but the same 'dev' is deleted on the next line.

I also thought about using bus->parent, but it's not always provided.

So, if you think dev_err_probe(0) can be used - I can change and re-send.
