ethernet: Remove casts to same type
Adding casts of objects to the same type is unnecessary
and confusing for a human reader.
For example, this cast:
int y;
int *p = (int *)&y;
I used the coccinelle script below to find and remove these
unnecessary casts. I manually removed the conversions this
script produces of casts with __force, __iomem and __user.
@@
type T;
T *p;
@@
- (T *)p
+ p
A function in atl1e_main.c was passed a const pointer
when it actually modified elements of the structure.
Change the argument to a non-const pointer.
A function in stmmac needed a __force to avoid a sparse
warning. Added it.
