I know you give a few examples for where this is done in network code,
but i think container_of() is used
Move the switchdev_obj_vlan structure out of the switchdev_obj union.
This lightens the switchdev_obj structure and allows drivers to access
the object transaction and callback directly from a switchdev_obj_vlan.
This is more consistent and convenient for add and dump operations.
