Commit aff39be0ed97 was not about qdev_set_parent_bus(), so the first sentence sounds somewhat misleading here. Maybe rephrase the commit message without that reference to aff39be0ed97 ? > increase the reference counter of the new object, so one of the > references has to be dropped afterwards to get the reference > counting right.

Well, the parent here (the machine) currently never gets destroyed ... so unless you've got a patch in your pipe to fix that, too, you should maybe also rephrase this part of the commit message.
