Yes, I was against the void pointer because there is no guarantee of the data-type correctness between the data and the user. The normal drvdata is fine because the creator and the user are the same. But, the proposal of private_driver_data (of the last one, at least) is no such a scenario.
Do you have a pointer to this proposal? I don't remember it and my google-fu is weak today.
