It's the parent device (or NULL), there is no way it can ever go away as
it's already refcounted through the device subsystem by the creation
of the child device.

I do realize that it's a hack, but the idea is to get rid of that
as soon as possibly by fixing the way the xhci device is probe so
we no longer need to fake a platform_device as the child here and
can just use the device itself.
