Sorry no. This keeps the code equally error prone as it was. Why is that
argument a void pointer in the first place?

This is a copy of rdt_cbm_parse_data. Sigh.
The right thing to do here is
1) rename struct rdt_cbm_parse_data to struct rdt_parse_data
2) Move it to a header file
3) Change the argument of parse_ctrlval from void * to struct
rdt_parse_data *
Everything else is just proliferating the initial underlying problem of
having a void pointer in those callbacks for no reason at all.
