Hello,

this series is about improving the handling of pointers in struct
zorro_device_id's driver_data.

While it's ok on all current Linux platforms to store a pointer in an
unsigned long variable, it involves casting that loses type information.
This can be nicely seen in patch #7 where after profiting from patch #6
the compiler notices a missing const.

[...]
Here is the summary with links:
  - [v1,net-next,3/8] net: Use named initializer for zorro_device_id arrays

  - [v1,6/8] zorro: Simplify storing pointers in device id struct

You are awesome, thank you!
