No, it is x86. And true, it is set. So this series is actually working
without this patch. It can be dropped.

Now, I just checked my logs. The reason I was adding this is that
during code development I modified the code to have bridge->dev.parent
set. Then, the fwnode is not linked. I later dropped that change but
kept this patch.

Thanks for catching this.
