We need to test if this is valid or not :)

the parent is bus->dev and sdw_master_device created would be child of
this and should be set as such. You can remove it from bus object and
keep in sdw_master_device object, that is fine by me.

The sdw_slave is child of sdw_master_device now and looks to be set
correct.
