The assumption that a device node is associated either with the netdev's device, or the parent of that device, does not hold for all drivers. E.g. Freescale's DPAA has two layers of platform devices above the netdev. Instead, recursively walk up the tree from the netdev, allowing any parent to match against the sought after node.
