This seems OK:

#define generic_container_of(in_type, in, out_type, out_member) \
	_Generic(in,                                        \
                  const in_type *: ((const out_type *)container_of(in, out_type, out_member)),   \
                  in_type *: ((out_type *)container_of(in, out_type, out_member)) \
		  )

#define kobj_to_dev(__kobj) \
	generic_container_of(struct kobject, __kobj, struct device, kobj)
