    wifi: brcmsmac: avoid function pointer casts
    
    [ Upstream commit e1ea6db35fc3ba5ff063f097385e9f7a88c25356 ]
    
    An old cleanup went a little too far and causes a warning with clang-16
    and higher as it breaks control flow integrity (KCFI) rules:
    
    drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmsmac/phy_shim.c:64:34: error: cast from 'void (*)(struct brcms_phy *)' to 'void (*)(void *)' converts to incompatible function type [-Werror,-Wcast-function-type-strict]
       64 |                         brcms_init_timer(physhim->wl, (void (*)(void *))fn,
          |                                                       ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    
    Change this one instance back to passing a void pointer so it can be
    used with the timer callback interface.
