Yes, thank you.

I couldn't find anyone using virtio-mmio for the GPU, both Qemu and
crosvm support only PCI transport for GPU.

But I'm now looking at virtio_mmio_probe() and see that virtio-mmio
devices actually should be in the exactly same position as PCI devices.
So you should be right and we need to use vdev->dev.parent for the DRM
device universally. I'll improve it in the v3, thank you again.
