I would really like to see an explanation why such obfuscation is really needed. dev_*_drvdata() is a standard way to access driver data.
I wouldn't call it obfuscation, but it does looks like abstraction for the sake of abstraction, which I usually push back on. What are the technical benefits over using the dev_*() variant?
Lots of busses have this helper. This is nothing new at all, and is nice to have. Look at all of the calls to dev_get_drvdata() in include/linux/ for the examples.
