We seem to be doing this switch at different places in the code just for enable_hw/disable_hw.
e.g, tmc_enable, tmc_disable

Could we make this a bit more cleaner by introducing something like this ?

struct tmc_hw_ops {
	int (*enable_hw)(struct tmc_drvdata *drvdata, enum tmc_mode mode);
	int (*disable_hw)(struct tmc_drvdata *drvdata, enum tmc_mode mode);
};

struct tmc_hw_ops tmc_etf_ops = {
	tmc_etf_enable_hw,
	tmc_etf_disable_hw,
};

similiarly for etb and etr and then add struct tmc_hw_ops *hw_ops to tmc_drvdata, initialised
at probe time (while reading the config_type).
