The DRM core documentation recommends against using dev_private: "Instead of using this pointer it is recommended that drivers use embed the struct &drm_device in their larger per-device structure." This patch refactors the tilcdc driver to follow this recommendation by embedding struct drm_device within struct tilcdc_drm_private and replacing all dev->dev_private accesses with the ddev_to_tilcdc_priv() helper macro that uses container_of(). This change aligns the driver with modern DRM best practices. Signed-off-by: Kory Maincent (TI.com) <kory.maincent@bootlin.com>
