Does a non pnp device have a pDO?
If true, how can I get it from my driver?
I need to access the driver key of the device, so I need the pDO.

You do not need a PDO for it. Just open CurrentControlSet\Services\YourDriver\Parameters.

The most correct thing you can do is to use the second
paramether to your DriverEntry routine, the RegistryPath.
It is a path to the
\Registry\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\YourServiceKey,
where YourServiceKey is an actual name of the key from where
the driver was started.

you need to be a little careful here as the entry under Services doesn’t
have to correspond to your driver name … users could configure your
driver with any service name.
the registry path for your service entry is handed to the driver in
DriverEntry. It’s not stored in the driver object so you can’t easily
retrieve the service key for another driver without its help, though you
could guess at its service name
