Get UIPopoverController reference in prepareForSegue?

Question

I have selected Present as Popover in Interface Builder for my StoryBoard Segue.

How can I get reference to UIPopoverController in prepareForSegue?

I tried like this, but it not goes inside the if statement.

    if segue is UIStoryboardPopoverSegue {
        let popoverSegue = segue as UIStoryboardPopoverSegue
        simpleTableViewController.popoverController = popoverSegue.popoverController
    }

UPDATE

If you need popovercontroller, just to dismiss it, then the way to dismiss an adaptive view controller is:

self.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)

You shouldn't check the type of the segue, rather you should check the segue identifier.

if segue.identifier == "popover" {
    let popoverSegue = segue as UIStoryboardPopoverSegue
    simpleTableViewController.popoverController = popoverSegue.popoverController
}
