This looks like code that's checking DT for correctness. We don't
typically do that in the kernel because the kernel isn't a DT validator.
That's all I'm saying. I think this comment is not useful if the driver
design is done to specify parent linkages in C code instead of DT, so
don't worry about this too much.
