Mea culpa, too. As you sent your patches, I thought someone else will do the

This is the output (unfortunately ppb_owner IS 0):

(kgdb) p *(struct ppb_data *)ppbus_devclass->devices[0]->softc
$1 = {class_id = 10, state = 1, error = 0, mode = 0, ppb_owner = 0x0,
  ppc_lock = 0xc56bfe7c, ppc_irq_res = 0xc573d5c0}
