Yes, that's my thinking. The dma_device *should* be a PCI device. We can
just be sure by doing is_pci_dev() and failing the mapping if it is not.

So I *think* we should be able to simply replace the
find_parent_pci_dev() with:

if (!dev_is_pci(dev))
return 0;

client = to_pci_dev(dev);

Which should be fast and reliable.

The alternative is to push this out into the caller which may have a bit
more information (like the nvme driver does).
