This is needed. of_device_get_match_data returns void *, so an explicit
cast is required for integer warning, otherwise it shows up as
-Wint-conversion warning

again driver_data is void * and we need a cast

That can be done. Since it is more used as flag and not version number
here to skip init, it doesn't really mean versions now
