Could you please elaborate more why is it unacceptable. I don't see any
problem in that.

That will end up with 2 structs instead of one, not all of those
callbacks are switchdev. Also, common part nicely picks cb by att/obj
type. I'm finding this very nice. Not sure why you want to do it
differently.

But why? just because of removal of completely legit use of "void *"?
I don't understand, sorry.
