[ Upstream commit ee494cf377e142f65f202fadf0d859f8e12119fb ]
Currently v4l2_device_register_subdev_nodes() does not initialize the dev_parent field of the video_device structs it creates for subdevices being registered. This leads to __video_register_device() falling back to the parent device of associated v4l2_device struct, which often does not match the physical device the subdevice is registered for.
Due to the problem above, the links between real devices and v4l-subdev nodes cannot be obtained from sysfs, which might be confusing for the userspace trying to identify the hardware.
Fix this by initializing the dev_parent field of the video_device struct with the value of dev field of the v4l2_subdev struct. In case of subdevices without a parent struct device, the field will be NULL and the old behavior will be preserved by the semantics of __video_register_device().
