I don't really like this void *

Go through at803x_priv and find out what is common to them all, and
keep that in one structure. Add per family private structures which
include the common as a member.

By having real types everywhere you get the compiler doing checks for
you.

As Russell pointed out, this patch series is going to be too big. So
break it up. We can move fast on patches which are simple and
obviously correct.
