don't we always have a parent?

Is this fixing a bug? Commit 4fc4b2 ("usb: musb: dsps: do not bind to
"musb-hdrc") [0] should fix the problem that is described here.
ux500 is affected by the same problem as dsps but it is only visible on
dsps because we DEFER probe for few reasons there test the fail path.

So by just looking at it should fix the same problem as the change I
cited _but_ it would also cover ux500. Currently I can't think of any
side effects by assigning of_node if the musb_init_*() did not do it.
If we take this in I would suggest to remove the check I added (because
it does no longer serve any purpose) and the description (why we do
this, what is the problem exactly) is could be taken from my patch
since I think it is better described (it safe to assign a node to a
driver, it becomes unsafe if after platform_probe _also_ the DT probe
is executed which was not to designed to work like this).

In the long term I would suggest to move the DT probe over to the musb
core code and we wouldn't need the node assignment anymore…
