I find this name very confusing. There is no such thing as a canonical
base name, ..._canonical_path_component would make its purpose much more
obvious.

An underlying issue here probably is that Anthony didn't want a public
API to access the Object::parent. But the only other user is
iothread_get_id() in 4/7, so we might just loop over its known path
prefix there to discover the right child<>. On the other hand, couldn't
device IDs in /machine/peripheral benefit from this today, too?

In any way I would've liked to get CC'ed on this QOM API proposal please.

It might make sense to assert obj first? Accessing ->parent would not be
much different from ->parent->properties otherwise. But applies to the
original code as well and the movement looks OK.
