Generally no. If we ever switch to C++ or some other OO language we'll
have to touch casts anyway.
Peter, please note that I usually don't have time to read through all
patches - noticed this inline question incidentally only.

You should check how frequently this function is called - the current
OBJECT_CHECK() implementation does at least one string comparison, so
I'd suggest to avoid it here. That is, if the type passed in as opaque
matches the type assigned here (thinking of interfaces).

Not knowing this piece of hardware, might it make sense to call it
"imx-fec" when there's another FEC for ColdFire? Or are they the same
thing and should be unified?

Andreas
