Why the cast? I don't think it's needed.

I have to admit that I every time I see this code pattern it makes me
regret it. Something like what Arnd proposed back in the day would look
so much cleaner:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAK8P3a1rsKZZKMKFTDWgE3usX9gYKJqUvTMxSdEuZrp8BaKdaA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

Of course this is just a generic comment about rtw89, and has nothing to
do with this patchset, but it would be great if someone could take a
look and try out Arnd's proposal. It would be good to start with just
one or two commands and send that as an RFC to see how it looks like.
