I had the same thought but actually since the SJA1105 driver is the only user, I was thinking about maybe getting rid of it, I don't really see the point of having some "dp->priv = priv, priv->dp = dp" kind of code...
In the meantime I kept the eventual helper or priv removal for a future series.
Thank you, Vivien
