Accessing file->private_data manually to retrieve the v4l2_fh pointer is
error-prone, as the field is a void * and will happily cast implicitly
to any pointer type.

Replace all remaining locations that read the v4l2_fh pointer directly
from file->private_data and cast it to driver-specific file handle
structures with driver-specific functions that use file_to_v4l2_fh() and
perform the same cast.

No functional change is intended, this only paves the way to remove
direct accesses to file->private_data and make V4L2 drivers safer.
Other accesses to the field will be addressed separately.

Why not write:

Same for all other drivers that do this. I prefer to have the contained_of()
in just one place.

So a file_to_channel inline function was added, but it is used in just one
place.

I would prefer to just drop the inline function and instead write:

	struct allegro_channel *channel = fh_to_channel(file_to_v4l2_fh(file));

If this is needed in two or more places, then the extra inline makes sense,
but it is a fairly common pattern that it is only needed in the release function.

Adding a new inline just for that seems overkill to me.
