 * @def         container_of(PTR, TYPE, MEMBER)

 *              given a pointer `PTR` to `TYPE::MEMBER` this function returns a pointer
 *              to the instance of `TYPE`.
 * @details     E.g. for `struct my_struct_t { ...; something_t n; ... } my_struct;`,
 *              `&my_struct == container_of(&my_struct.n, struct my_struct_t, n)`.
 * @param[in]   PTR      pointer to a member
 * @param[in]   TYPE     a type name (a struct or union), container of PTR
 * @param[in]   MEMBER   name of the member of TYPE which PTR points to
 * @return      Pointer to the container of PTR.
