Please use "sunvdc: " as your subsystem prefix in your subject line.

vdev->type is a char pointer already, there is no need for this cast
and it's looks awful as well :-)

Please use "bool" as the return type and true/false here.

Again, no need for this cast.

You also never need to explicitly cast to "void *", it will implicitly
be done if that is the argument type.
