If you are not convinced, please consider turning the void * into an union *.
The other thing here is that you can just pass a struct device into
these and retrieve the same driver data via:
netdev = dev_get_drvdata(dev);
as:
static inline void *platform_get_drvdata(const struct platform_device *pdev)
{
return dev_get_drvdata(&pdev->dev);
}
static inline void *pci_get_drvdata(struct pci_dev *pdev)
{
return dev_get_drvdata(&pdev->dev);
}
So there's no need for void * or union nonsense.
