Yeap, we have a few cases where this is already happening...

Should we start using the container_of more directly and avoid the a_to_b()
helpers?

Should we create the a_to_b() helpers only inside .c files like we have
in a few other cases?

In this pxp case here it looks like using the container of directly is
everywhere is better... is this your recommendation?
