[PATCH] ehca: remove driver_data direct access of struct device

[Roel Kluin]

To avoid direct access to the driver_data pointer in struct device, the
functions dev_get_drvdata() and dev_set_drvdata() should be used.

Hi,
Thanks for this patch. But I've to NACK because
1) Greg KH has already done a similar patch in his tree.
See http://lists.openfabrics.org/pipermail/general/2009-May/059442.html
2) Your patch is incomplete

Regards
Nam
