Please keep the following code in the caller:

if (dev->parent && dev->bus && dev->bus->need_parent_lock)
device_lock(dev->parent);

if (dev->parent && dev->bus && dev->bus->need_parent_lock)
device_unlock(dev->parent);

put_device(dev->parent);
put_device(dev);

Additionally, please make sure that the caller is made compatible with
lock context analysis (see also
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250206181711.1902989-1-elver@xxxxxxxxxx/).
All that is required to make this code compatible with lock context
analysis is to organize it as follows:

if (dev->parent && dev->bus && dev->bus->need_parent_lock) {
device_lock(dev->parent);
shutdown_one_device(dev);
device_unlock(dev->parent);
} else {
shutdown_one_device(dev);
}

Thanks,

Bart.
