TBH I don't like this shortcut and I would prefer having:
- two otp structures defining each parts (user/factory)
- both the user and factory otp hooks provided
- perhaps a top level macro which does both initializations based on
the (user_otp_)start_page parameter.
But I don't like much hiding the layout subtlety behind a
"start_page" member (although it should probably be named
"user_area_start_page" or something like that, otherwise it's
misleading).
This would also be more future proof, manufacturers are creative.
Thanks,
