My idea is described in
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-i2c/pja67neo74zw6rqpv5n7ekivlhejbmpuge6umtuatwhgjbmcwr@7u7f7vhpnwtt,
maybe with different names for the two union members. My current
favorite is

	void *driver_data_ptr;
	kernel_ulong_t driver_data;

If you have concerns/ideas, I suggest to share them in this thread such
that we have the complete discussion in a single place.

Best regards
Uwe
