> Inside the MR control structure there is a pointer to the common device.

> However, adding it to this structure increased the Rx and Tx data-path
> structures, all the fields that followed it were slightly moved away
> which caused to a reduction in performance.

> This patch removes the pointer from the structure. It can be accessed
> through the "dev_gen_ptr" existing field using the "container_of"
