We have pdev for the PCI device, dev for the abstract device, and things
like mdev for struct mga_device in mgag200. So I'd go with ddev. I don't
like drm, because it could be anything in DRM. I guess struct drm_driver
is more 'drm' than struct drm_device.
But all of this is bikeshedding. It's probably best to keep the patch
as-is, and maybe rename variables later if we ever find consent on the
naming.

From how I understand the C spec, I think it's the other way around. I
had to look up the sections from the C11 spec:
Sec 6.5.6 Additive operators
2 For addition, either both operands shall have arithmetic type, or
one operand shall be a pointer to a complete object type and the
other shall have integer type. (Incrementing is equivalent to adding
1.)
About void it says that it's not a complete type.
Sec 6.2.5 Types
19 The void type comprises an empty set of values; it is an incomplete
object type that cannot be completed.
Arithmetic on void* is a gcc extension AFAIK.

I'm really just bikeshedding on things I'd have done differently.
