type mismatch

[Julia Lawall <julia.lawall@lip6.fr>]

I came across the following code
(drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nvkm/subdev/i2c/pad.h):

struct nvkm_i2c_pad {
        struct nvkm_object base;
        int index;
        struct nvkm_i2c_port *port;
        struct nvkm_i2c_port *next;
};

static inline struct nvkm_i2c_pad *
nvkm_i2c_pad(struct nvkm_i2c_port *port)
{
 	struct nvkm_object *pad = nv_object(port);
	while (!nv_iclass(pad->parent, NV_SUBDEV_CLASS))
		pad = pad->parent;
	return (void *)pad;
}

Would it be better for the return to use container_of, rather than a cast
that happens to work because of the position of the nvkm_object field?
