Removing '&' caused following error.
drivers/staging/usbip/usbip_event.c: In function ‘usbip_start_eh’:
drivers/staging/usbip/usbip_event.c:93:8: error: incompatible types
when assigning to type ‘struct device *’ from type ‘struct device’
drivers/staging/usbip/usbip_event.c:95:8: error: incompatible types
when assigning to type ‘struct device *’ from type ‘struct device’
dev needs to be initialized with address of dev (struct device ) which
is member of struct usb_device pointed by the udev.
To make it more clear i can change it to
dev = &(container_of(ud, struct vhci_device, ud)->udev->dev);
or
struct vhci_device *vdev = container_of(ud, struct vhci_device, ud);
dev = &(vdev->udev->dev);
