Actually the use of device_node.data ptr is not bogus and it is set in mvneta_bm_probe: http://elixir.free-electrons.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/net/ethernet/marvell/mvneta_bm.c#L433 Your patch will break the BM support on this driver. So if you need to remove this data ptr, then you have to offer an alternative for it.
