In patch 12 it is clear the first and second arguments are ctrldev->rpdev and
ctrldev->dev.  In this set the second arguments becomes rpdev->dev, which is
different than ctrldev->dev.  Goind back to rpmsg_ctrl_probe() we have:

        dev = &ctrldev->dev;
        device_initialize(dev);
        dev->parent = &rpdev->dev;

As such in __rpmsg_chrdev_create_eptdev(), eptdev->dev->parent becomes
ctrldev->dev->parent rather than ctrldev->dev.
