Technically it is fine (on all current Linux architectures) to store a pointer in an unsigned long variable. However this needs explicit casting which is an easy source for type mismatches. By replacing the plain unsigned long .driver_data in struct zorro_device_id by an anonymous union, most of the casting can be dropped. There is still some implicit casting involved (between a void * and a driver specific pointer type), but that's better than the approach to store a pointer in an unsigned long variable as this doesn't lose the information that the data being pointed to is const. All users of struct zorro_device_id are initialized in a way that is compatible with the new definition, so no adaptions are needed there.
