In general it's safer to use container_of() than the forced cast, and...

The cast isn't needed from a void pointer.  The whole SOF codes have
way too many unneeded cast.  Let's reduce.

remaining is unsigned, so a negative check doesn't work here.
Hence you need the explicit underflow check.

The size check should be more strict (e.g. here remaining might become
negative).

Hrm, any need of devm_kasprintf() here?  That is, do we need to keep
this string after the call of request_firmware()?  It doesn't make
sense if we need it only temporarily.
