This comment isn't much help. Can we drop it?

Either that, or expand on what it is in each case, e.g.

	/*
	 * Data specific to the match_type.
	 *
	 * For ate_match_dt, this is a DT property name to look for.
	 */
	const void *id;

Elesewhere we just the name desc for strings like this.

Can we s/desc_str/desc/, please?

Thanks,
Mark.
