No, "initialization from incompatible pointer type" if set like that.
Other drivers in platform/ seem to follow the same approach too.

Thanks, will fix for v2.

I don't think it will matter in this case. It will come down to how fwupd
decides to use this (which will be TBD and is under discussion still).

Thanks for your feedback. I'll send a follow up v2 in a few moments.
