I am wondering if we couldn't just adopt the Linux prototype:
void *dev_get_drvdata(const struct device_d *dev);
and do away with the error code and most of the casts.
Users won't be able to differentiate between NULL from id table
and NULL due to lack of drvdata, but I don't think this is
that much of a downside, compared with not having casts obscure
the more common pitfall (besides fec_imx.c, lm75.c, apbh_dma.c and nand_mxs.c
are affected as well of which probably only the first is an issue.)
@Sascha, thoughts?
