The omap2-nand platform_device is created by
platform_device_alloc. The created platform_device dev
parent isn't by default set to the GPMC dev. I didn't think
this was the right approach to manually set the parent
property. However, taking a look at other usages of
platform_device_alloc it seems this is actually pretty
common. If your ok with this then I can go that route.
