Bikeshed: I think generally we call these
<source_type>_to_<destination_type>, with the source type left out if
you cast from the most generic version. E.g. this one here would just
be

static inline struct drm_gem_vram_object *drm_gem_to_vram_bo(struct
drm_gem_object *gem)

or something like that. I don't remember having seen the *_of_*
pattern anywhere.
