Yeah. I was ultimately expecting to squash this one into the first amba 
bus patch assuming you agree with the general direction. Would you 
rather me combine it and send that out instead of an incremental patch?

The problem is not setting a parent pointer. That can be passed in. The 
problem I had was creating an amba_device for the bus, but your comment 
below to use a platform device clarifies that issue.
