Fix the following warning generated about type casting by sparse warning: cast removes address space of expression The current implementation casts the structure pointers with (char *) without __user annotation and then adds sizeof struct to it, thereby generating the sparse warning. Fixed this by removing the unnecessary char pointer type cast.
