  This is a short series to link a registered USB PD object to its associated
partner device. This is helpful for userspace services (the ChromeOS Type-C
daemon, for example), to identify which Type-C peripheral a PD object belongs to,
when a uevent for the PD object arrives.

The first patch adds a helper to the Type-C class code to access the device struct
for a partner. The second patch uses that helper to set the parent for the USB PD object
in the port driver code.

There was an earlier patch[1] to solve this issue, but it's been jettisoned (on advice from
GregKH) in favor of the current approach.

Series submission suggestions (if the approach is OK):
- Patch 1 goes throug the USB tree and Patch 2 goes in the next release cycle
  through the chrome-platform tree.
- Patch 1 and 2 both go through the USB tree.
