Hi Ricardo,
Thank you for the patch.

This was implemented with container_of() as there has never been a need
to get the uvc_streaming for the metadata queue. As that's changing in
patch 3/3, I'd rather use a backpointer from uvc_video_queue to
uvc_streaming. That will be simpler for the callers, and less
error-prone.
