If you can move a struct or data type to .c file, it means it is not
shared so updating it should not cause change anyway.
I am not against it, but I didn't get your reasoning.
When there are 'nfp_hwinfo.c' and 'nfp_hwinfo.h' files, I think that is
reasonable to have "nfp_hwinfo*" macros and structs in the .h file, it
looks like you want to separate data structures that are shared and ones
that are only used by 'nfp_hwinfo.c' but I am not sure how it helps.
Anyway if you know what you are doing, it is OK, I just want to double
check if this is done on purpose.
