I appreciate that this patch is mostly autogenerated (a good thing for
preventing errors!), but there are some issues that I don't think play
out very well stylistically. Hopefully the cocci script can be improved
to handle some of this?

I'll try to point out a few snippets below.

Also, in case others are interested in reviewing your cocci script
directly, it might be better to paste it inline than to link to it.
Given the size of the patch, I don't think people would mind a few dozen
extra lines to show how it wsa generated. Or maybe stick some in the
cover letter too, if you end up reusing them in several patches.

^^ BTW, this file already has a few conflicts. Sorry :(

I'll try to keep any eye out for things like this once we're close to
being able to apply something like this, so I don't merge unnecessary
churn. But for now, I hope we can review this series, and it won't be
too much work to rebase/resend once the bigger things have been worked
out.

(This isn't the worst one, but it just happens to be one of the first.)
There are many cases where the typical style would be to declare a new
variable at the top of the function, where you perform the
macro/function-call to convert from one abstraction to another. Like

static int nfc_set_sram_bank(struct atmel_nand_host *host, unsigned int bank)
{
struct mtd_info *mtd = nand_to_mtd(&hot->nand_chip);
...

and then use it later. Can that be done very easily?

This is another good example. It's a little awkward to do this at all
(function call within a macro):

container_of(mtd_to_nand(mtd), ...);

but that's not unforgiveable. It's a bit worse, though, when followed by
assigning the next field to the same thing:

struct nand_chip *this = mtd_to_nand(mtd);

i.e., this would be nicer to see as:

struct nand_chip *this = mtd_to_nand(mtd);
struct au1550nd_ctx *ctx = container_of(this,
struct au1550nd_ctx, chip);

Again, I'm not sure how best to automate this kind of transformation.

Same here.

Snipped the rest, since it's pretty similar comments that apply.
