Hi Eric,

Sorry, I don't like this change.
While it provides a bit of code simplification, it also bakes the
implicit assumption into the code that dma_fence is the first struct
member without any checks to validate this assumption. I would at least
expect a build bug assert, but then the current bit of code to keep this
explicit and self-documenting is probably just as good.

Regards,
Lucas
