   BTW, there's no need to invoke to_pci_dev() at all since 
pci_get_drvdata(dev) boils down to dev_get_drvdata(&dev->dev) call. So, 
in order not to waste time on useless pointer tricks, we should just 
invoke the latter here.

   Well, since to_pci_dev() is unnecessary here, I'm taking my request 
back. :-)
