Subject: drivers/net: Remove casts of void *
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=43d620c82985b19008d87a437b4cf83f356264f7;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

drivers/net: Remove casts of void *

Unnecessary casts of void * clutter the code.

These are the remainder casts after several specific
patches to remove netdev_priv and dev_priv.

Done via coccinelle script (and a little editing):

$ cat cast_void_pointer.cocci
@@
type T;
T *pt;
void *pv;
@@

- pt = (T *)pv;
+ pt = pv;
