API oversight. This was meant to be there all along together with
Device.parent, for navigating the devicetree, but since a need for it
never came up in gen_defines.py, it got overlooked.
Devices are just devicetree nodes augmented with binding information and
some interpretation of devicetree properties. I wonder if the name
should be changed to something like edtlib.Node to make that clearer.
Calling something like a flash partition a "device" is a bit weird, as
Galak pointed out.
I think I went with Device originally to avoid confusion with
dtlib.Node, but since edtlib users don't directly interact with dtlib,
it might not be that confusing in practice.
Piggyback some documentation clarifications.
