From: Julia Lawall <redacted> Drop cast on the result of kmalloc and similar functions. The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ type T; @@ - (T *) (\(kmalloc\|kzalloc\|kcalloc\|kmem_cache_alloc\|kmem_cache_zalloc\| kmem_cache_alloc_node\|kmalloc_node\|kzalloc_node\)(...)) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <redacted> --- drivers/net/wireless/hostap/hostap_80211_rx.c | 3 +-- drivers/net/wireless/hostap/hostap_ioctl.c | 3 +-- 2 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-)
