The mdev API should accept and pass a 'struct mdev_device *' in all places, not pass a 'struct device *' and cast it internally with to_mdev_device(). Particularly in its struct mdev_driver functions, the whole point of a bus's struct device_driver wrapper is to provide type safety compared to the default struct device_driver. Further, the driver core standard is for bus drivers to expose their device structure in their public headers that can be used with container_of() inlines and '&foo->dev' to go between the class levels, and '&foo->dev' to be used with dev_err/etc driver core helper functions. Move 'struct mdev_device' to mdev.h Once done this allows moving some one instruction exported functions to static inlines, which in turns allows removing one of the two grotesque symbol_get()'s related to mdev in the core code.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
