[PATCH] net: ethernet: aquantia: fix alloc_cast.cocci warnings
From: kbuild test robot <hidden>
Date: 2017-01-19 09:12:38
drivers/net/ethernet/aquantia/atlantic/aq_ring.c:24:20-41: WARNING: casting value returned by memory allocation function to (struct aq_ring_buff_s *) is useless. Remove casting the values returned by memory allocation functions like kmalloc, kzalloc, kmem_cache_alloc, kmem_cache_zalloc etc. Semantic patch information: This makes an effort to find cases of casting of values returned by kmalloc, kzalloc, kcalloc, kmem_cache_alloc, kmem_cache_zalloc, kmem_cache_alloc_node, kmalloc_node and kzalloc_node and removes the casting as it is not required. The result in the patch case may need some reformatting.
