drm/cma-helper: Turn to_drm_gem_cma_obj() into a macro This allows the argument to be a const. The other option was to keep it an inline function and make the argument a const: static inline struct drm_gem_cma_object * to_drm_gem_cma_obj(const struct drm_gem_object *gem_obj) { return container_of(gem_obj, struct drm_gem_cma_object, base); } This will happily return a non-const pointer to the drm_gem_cma_object based on a const pointer to the contained drm_gem_object, thus creating const-safety problems. There was an attempt to fix the problem in the container_of() macro itself (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/5/19/381) but the patch seems to have fallen through the cracks. It would require turning this inline function into a macro. By making this a macro now, we will benefit from a possible future enhancement of container_of(). We don't loose type checking by doing this, container_of() takes care of that.
