I'm also happy to convert it back to a cast but container_of() feels a bit safer. I've just tried the patch below (on top of my previous patch) to convert all of the explicit casts (apart from the timer callbacks that take an unsigned long) to container_of() and that works fine on my board. Is this worth applying or would you rather I just keep the original cast?
