With a little MacroMagic(tm), we can allow users to pass a pointer to
a function that actually takes the type of the data argument, instead
of forcing the function to have prototype void (*)(void *). Of course,
we must still accept such functions.

This can provide a little more type safety in that we get fewer
implicit casts to and from void* - as a random example,
gpio_mockup_dispose_mappings in drivers/gpio/gpio-mockup.c could take
a "struct gpio_mockup_chip *chip" directly.

Moreover, when the action is some "external" API, there will in many
cases no longer be a need for a trivial local wrapper -
e.g. drivers/watchdog/cadence_wdt.c could just use
clk_disable_unprepare directly and avoid defining
cdns_clk_disable_unprepare.
