From 35628c4ad0f3800d3744fd5d4b7315e51c5e407e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joe Perches Date: Sat, 9 Sep 2017 13:14:52 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] staging: rtl8723bs: convert private allocation functions to return void * Using char * for a return from allocation functions means the code has to cast generic allocations to specific types. Allow the compiler to not need casts on the allocations.
