Those two structures could probably be marked const. Other than that,
the approach definitively looks good to me.

The mutability is intentional - the structure pointer to the firmware is also
stored there. This isn't the only piece of mutable static data in a driver
that will only have a single instance, so allocating and initialising a
per-instance structure seems needlessly complicated.

Thanks for the feedback.

Phil
