I'm not Hauke :) but as far as I understand, brcms_c_watchdog_by_timer
is used by brcms_init_timer which expects a void (*fn) (void *); and
which is also used with brcms_c_radio_timer
Admitedly, brcms_c_radio_timer also uses a struct brcms_c_info* as
argument, so everything could be change this way, but I think it's not
completely insane to keep callbacks as void* :)
I also see the point of removing this "pattern" since it makes it easier
to understand with the proper type information.
