Using ndev->dev.parent actually generates bigger code (44 bytes larger) :

$ size drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/sh_eth.o.*
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  27803	    696	      0	  28499	   6f53	drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/sh_eth.o.new
  27759	    696	      0	  28455	   6f27	drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/sh_eth.o.orig

.orig is my original proposal, .new is with ndev->dev.parent. I'm using
a gcc 6.4.0 compiler.

Note also that the driver is already using mdp->pdev->dev all over the place:

$ grep -- mdp-\>pdev-\>dev drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/sh_eth.c
		pm_wakeup_event(&mdp->pdev->dev, 0);
	pm_runtime_get_sync(&mdp->pdev->dev);
	pm_runtime_put_sync(&mdp->pdev->dev);
	device_set_wakeup_enable(&mdp->pdev->dev, mdp->wol_enabled);
	pm_runtime_get_sync(&mdp->pdev->dev);
	pm_runtime_put_sync(&mdp->pdev->dev);
	pm_runtime_put_sync(&mdp->pdev->dev);
	struct device *dev = &mdp->pdev->dev;
