[PATCH 195/510] Staging, bcm: Remove unnecessary casts of void ptr returning alloc function return values

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxx>]

From: Jesper Juhl <jj@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Here's a patch against a copy of linux-next that I just cloned.

Don't pointlessly cast pointers returned by allocation functions that
return void pointers which are implicitly converted.
For drivers/staging/bcm/
