Wouldn't that make code bit messy ? Also, would it be correct for OPAL
layer to send two different versions of HMI event depending on what it
contains ? V2 is a super set of v1, and can contain data pertaining to
v1 and v2 both. V2 is backward compatible. Older Linux kernel receiving
V2 event (containing only v1 data) can still print all the info that
pertains to V1.
