Currently with the rawdev API there is no way to check that the structure passed in via the dev_private pointer in the dev_info structure is of the correct type - it's just checked that it is non-NULL. Adding in the length of the expected structure provides a measure of typechecking, and can also be used for ABI compatibility in future, since ABI changes involving structs almost always involve a change in size.
