The data structure name and the corresponding variable/argument name
were making the code pretty obvious, but now this is opaque and
incomprehensible.

data::ctrl does not even give the slightest hint what this is about. You
need to read up in the code to figure out what it means. Something like:

struct sunxi_sc_nmi_data {
	u32	reg_offs_ctrl;
  	u32	reg_offs_pend;
  	u32	reg_offs_enable;
	u32	enable_val;
};

or even better:

struct sunxi_sc_nmi_data {
	struct {
		u32	ctrl;
  		u32	pend;
  		u32	enable;
        } reg_offs;
	u32		enable_val;
};

makes it clear and obvious, no?
