No need for the cast.  But we can do void pointer arithmetics in the
kernel anyway, so possible we could just declare this void.

And maybe just call the argument data and operate on that.

	for (pos = 0; pos < NVME_ID_DATA_SIZE; pos += len) {
		struct nvme_ns_nid *cur = data + pos;

This needs to be verified based on the type.

Please move all this code into nvme_identify_ns_descs().
