That line of the example was a total mess. Sorry. It actually was
supposed to look something like this.

   /*
    * takes the name of driver's device structure and the
    * name of the drm device structure embedded within
    */
   #define drmm_kzalloc_dev(parent_type, base) \
     (parent_type*)__drm_kzalloc_dev(sizeof(parent_type),
                         offsetof(parent_type, base));

__drm_kzalloc_dev() is the allocator function for device instances and
drm_kzalloc_dev() is a macro that makes it convenient.
