the argument is sometimes a pointer.  for example:

arch/arm64/kernel/mte.c:                offset = offset_in_page(addr);
fs/jbd2/commit.c:               (void *)(addr + offset_in_page(bh->b_data)), bh->b_size);

yes, those are offset_in_page(), not offset_in_thp(), but i'll bet
you a cadbury's creme egg that we find someone who needs to use
offset_in_thp() (or offset_in_folio()) on a pointer within three years.
