Looked into it: whats the reason for the "__ro_after_init" in "static struct 
uniwill_device_descriptor device_descriptor __ro_after_init;"?

The thing Ilpo wrote sounded like just .driver_data itself should be read only, 
but as soon as it has an indirection, like here being copied over to a static 
variable, read/write is ok.

Also: Why not just copy the device_descriptor over to uniwill_data instead of a 
static variable?

And do I get that correctly: All you can do during the init callback is doing 
more sophisticated DMI matching?

Best regards,

Werner
