Ok, I must admit I didn't check with sparse since it seemed pointless
- we usually never cast void pointers to other pointer types,
specifically because the C language nicely guarantees that the right
thing will happen without the cast.  Sometimes we have to cast them to
integer types, su sure we need the cast there.   But what on earth
makes a "zd_addr_t *" so special that we have to explicitly cast a
"void *" to that type?
