But then it should use a generic name, instead of each sub-system using
some random name that makes people look up exactly what it does. I'm not
huge fan of the container_of() redundancy, but adding private variants
of this doesn't seem like the best way forward. Let's have a generic
helper that does this, and use it everywhere.
