I need the parent, not the vlan_info.  Sometimes I need to get to the 
device and I really don't want to then use container_of().

I suppose I could do the union, but that's really not much different 
then the type casts.  Just as easy to goof.

Yep.  Its in net_bridge, but not here.  Will fix.

Yep.  Typo when doing conversions.

WTH?  I did this change and now its gone...  Time to see what else I 
somehow lost...
