We get the wrapper by the means of dev_drv_getdata(dev->parent),
so afaict we need to figure out how to get hold of the wrapper for ACPI
to work either way.

We then need to lug around the wrapper's device for your uses and
exposing the wrapper struct solves this for us. So I'm okay with your
proposal.
