This could probably use some discussion of why it is not being
future-proofed. Maybe:

There are fancier things that could be done like trying to merge
adjacent TDMRs. This would allow more pathological memory
layouts to be supported. But, current systems are not even
close to exhausting the existing TDMR resources in practice.
For now, keep it simple.

I think that's more complicated and has more casting than necessary.
This looks nicer:

int tdmr_info_offset = tdmr_list->tdmr_sz * idx;

return (void *)tdmr_list->first_tdmr + tdmr_info_offset;

Also, it might even be worth keeping ->first_tdmr as a void*. It isn't
a real C array and keeping it as void* would keep anyone from doing:

tdmr_foo = tdmr_list->first_tdmr[foo];

Otherwise this actually looks fine.
