How to get the hci_dev from an adv instance's work struct in a linked list?

[Florian Grandel <fgrandel@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!

I got quite far today refactoring from

struct hci_dev { ... struct adv_info adv_instance; ... };

to

struct hci_dev { ... struct list_head adv_instances; ... };

But in the end I got stuck on refactoring the adv timeout callback. 
Originally it looked like this:

static void adv_timeout_expired(struct work_struct *work)
{
  struct hci_dev *hdev = container_of(work, struct hci_dev,
                                      adv_instance.timeout_exp.work);
  ...
}

But now I would have to construct a pointer to the hci_dev struct from a 
list entry:

static void adv_timeout_expired(struct work_struct *work)
{
  struct adv_info *adv_instance = container_of(work, struct adv_info,
                                               timeout_exp.work);
  ...
}

I couldn't find a way to get the list head of the adv info list entry so 
that I could retrieve its containing hci_dev structure, though.

How would I construct the required hci_dev struct from the work pointer 
in this case? Any ideas?
