this needs to use &dev->dev as device argument otherwise I get a

WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at linux/kernel/dma/mapping.c:416 dma_alloc_attrs+0x64/0x98

(coherent_dma_mask is set correctly).

dev->dev.parent was correct when going from netdevice to underlying device,
but now allocation is done via platform_device probe. I wonder why this works
for parisc.
