Create a generic identify structure to collect the identify information
before knowing the spec. version. This forces different version paths to
cast the structure to their spec structure, thus making the code less
error prone and more maintainable.

Thanks for another way to represent it. I want to keep the original
path. If we are going that down road, then one should maybe look into
unifying the "three" data structures, and have the version as the base
property and the others in each their sub data structure.

That's what this structure aims to do, since the version is shared. But
you call if you want to cast unrelated structures back an forth. I'll
revert it...

In that case, the patch could look like

struct nvm_id {
__u8 ver_id;

union {
struct v1 {};
struct v2 {};
};
};

I'm good with just having the single cast instead of putting each under a v1/v2 variable or using nvm_id first, and then goto either v1 or v2.
