I usually go with "np" or "node". In this case I'd use "parent_np" or
just "parent." As you said pci_dn conventionally uses pdn so that
should be avoided if at all possible. There's some places that just
use "dn" for device_node, but I don't think that's something we should
encourage due to how similar it is to pdn.

I'm trying to remove the use of pci_dn from non-RTAS platforms which
doesn't apply to pseries. For RTAS platforms having pci_dn sort of
makes sense since it's used to cache data from the device_node and
having it saves you from needing to parse and validate the DT at
runtime since we're supposed to be relying on the FW provided settings
in the DT. I want to get rid of it on PowerNV because it's become a
dumping ground for random bits and pieces of platform specific data.
It's confusing at best and IMO it duplicates a lot of what's already
available in the per-PHB structures which the platform specific stuff
should actually be looking at.
