From 19be606be1df35479333bd04e2cdaddc9d77e38c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Javier Martinez Canillas Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2016 13:10:08 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] scsi: hpsa: Remove unneeded void pointer cast It's not necessary to cast the result of kmalloc, since void pointers are promoted to any other type. This also fixes following coccinelle warning: casting value returned by memory allocation function to (BIG_IOCTL_Command_struct *) is useless.
