OK

The updated patch follows.

The pm_parent member of struct dev_pm_info (defined in include/linux/pm.h) is
only used to check if the device's parent is in the right state while the
device is being suspended or resumed. However, this can be done just as well
with the help of the parent pointer in struct device, so pm_parent can be
removed along with some code that handles it.
