This looks more like a matter cosmetic preferences. I mean, I didn't
notice anything "horrible" in the code so far. I actually find it more
ugly to define a new structure with only one element inside, like:
struct enetc_mdio_priv {
struct enetc_hw *hw;
}
What is this technique called? Looks like a second type definition for
another type.
Anyway, if others already did this in the kernel, what can I do?
