The change passes the parent device to the iio_device_alloc() call. This also updates the devm_iio_device_alloc() call to consider the device object as the parent device by default. Having it passed like this, should ensure that any IIO device object already has a device object as parent, allowing for neater control, like passing the 'indio_dev' object for other stuff [like buffers/triggers/etc], and potentially creating iiom_xxx(indio_dev) functions. With this patch, only the 'drivers/platform/x86/toshiba_acpi.c' needs an update to pass the parent object as a parameter. In the next patch all devm_iio_device_alloc() calls will be handled.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
