Don't do that. Always use list_first_entry() etc, because otherwise the
struct list_head must be the first member in the struct, which is very
non-ideomatic and everybody who is used to the kernel will get it wrong
when modifying your driver.

Treat struct list_head as completely opaque -- never look into it. There
are macros for any kind of manipulation with it.

Also, all your loops are open coded -- use list_for_each_entry() instead
of doing that (even the code I quoted above is from an open coded loop)
