I've tried several implementations that add a struct exfat_dentry type.(*de0 & *de1; *de[2]; etc...)
The problem with the struct exfat_dentry type is that it is too flexible for type.
This means weak typing.
Therefore, when using them,
de[XXX_FILE]->dentry.file.zzz ...
It is necessary to re-specify the type. (against the DRY principle)
Strong typing prevents use with wrong type, at compiling.

I think the approach of using de_file/de_stream could be strongly typed.
I don't think we need excessive flexibility.
