Ah, I think I found the problem... I was using p.child, but I was
defining p as a pointer!

I guess I should have this instead:

@@
identifier parent_child.child;
identifier parent_child.parent_type;
ide
ntifier p;
@@
struct parent_type *p;
<...
-p->child.control_over_nl80211
+cf
g_control_port_over_nl80211(&p->child)
