Sorry for being late. A number of nits are listed below. In any case:

Maybe rename 'offset' of 'dev_offset' to make the relationship clear.

While convenient, I somewhat dislike the use of void* variables. I'd use
unsigned char* for container and do an explicit cast to struct
drm_device* here.

I'd replace 'member' with 'dev_field' to make the relation ship clear.
