That is a big hint that you're doing something wrong.

This is wrong on just about every level.  It needs to be rewritten to
avoid poking about in subsystem internal data structures, and you really
should not be sprint-ing a value to only sscanf it later.

Plus, container_of doesn't return a pointer-error code.

You need to come up with a far better way of doing this altogether.
