Use ERR_CAST() here
Also, I've wrote a small series last week that goes further than this,
I made 'struct vfio_device *' the universal handle to refer to the
device, instead of using 'void *' or 'struct device *' as a surrogate.
It is interesting that you hit on the same issue as a blocker to this
series. So for I've found quite a few other things that are out of
sorts because of this.
Cheers,
Jason
