Since drm_i915_private is now a subclass of drm_device we do not need to
chase the drm_i915_private->dev backpointer and can instead simply
access drm_i915_private->drm directly.

Created by the coccinelle script:
@@
struct drm_i915_private *d;
identifier i;
@@
(
- d->dev->i
+ d->drm.i
|
- d->dev
+ &d->drm
)

and for good measure the dev_priv->dev backpointer was removed entirely.

How about doing this with a macro, to isolate the users of the conversion from the actual layout of the drm/private pair? The caller need not know how one actually gets from one to the other, whether it's by following a pointer, finding a containing parent, locating a member, or just casting the pointer; the conversion macro encapsulates all that.

#define	to_drm(dev_priv)	(&dev_priv->drm)

and thus at the point of use:

-	struct drm_device *dev = dev_priv->dev;
+	struct drm_device *dev = to_drm(dev_priv);

etc. And the even simpler Cocci:

@@
struct drm_i915_private *d;
@@
- d->dev
+ to_drm(d)
