Amos, I had pointed out to Paolo (IRC?) that this differs from how all
legacy devices are being created, so I consider it a bad idea.
qdev_set_parent_bus() is called from qdev_try_create(), which is called
by qdev_create(). Devices may thus assume that the bus is set early,
e.g. in their property setters invoked by qemu_opt_foreach(), and some
functions have special behavior for a NULL bus (thinking of ISA here),
so the change may lead to silent functional changes.

Long-term we will have to move the code adding the device out of realize
because we want to make realize work recursively on the composition
tree. So what about rather moving the code adding the device to
periph-anon / periph between dev->id and qemu_opt_foreach() so that the
original unparenting works as expected?

Regards,
Andreas
