It is not advisable to execute an object_dynamic_cast() to poke into bus->qbus.parent and follow it up with a C cast into the PnvPHB type we think we got.
A better way is to access the PnvPHB object via a QOM macro accessing the existing parent links of the DeviceState. For a given pnv-phb3/4-root-port 'dev', dev->parent_bus will give us the PHB bus, and dev->parent_bus->parent is the PHB. Use the adequate QOM macro to assert the type, and keep the NULL check in case we didn't get the object we were expecting.
