Right, that's why void pointer was proposed and I'm against. The controller driver and the device driver are independent and implemented so. If they have the exlusive tight connection, then you must have no problem. But, you can bind any device driver to any controller driver in theory as long as they use the same bus, and there is no check to prevent it.
