This should be container_of not a cast.

What kind of crazy cast is this? 'dev' is a mlx5_core_dev so how on
earth is this right? Shouldn't it be just &ibdev->ib_dev?

Every occurance of (struct ib_device *) in this patch looks like
something I don't want to see. Use the proper cast-free things please.
