Subject: [PATCH 4/6] drivers: remove unnecessary use of list iterator variable

When list_for_each_entry() completes the iteration over the whole list
without breaking the loop, the iterator value will *always* be a bogus
pointer computed based on the head element.

To avoid type confusion use the actual list head directly instead of last
iterator value.
