type casting is generally avoided in linux code.

same here.

You should do the indentation fix in another patch.

Do you think passing the msg structure as an argument and letting the
function populate it will be better instead of returning the msg
structure ? No strong opinion since from read_foo() point of view
what you have done might be right thing. In either case, please
get rid of typecasting.
