[PATCH 20/30] scsi: In the Advansys driver, do not cast allocation function return values

[Jesper Juhl]

There's no reason to cast void pointers returned by the generic
memory allocation functions.

I think I fixed all these already; please check scsi-misc.

Three lines later:

		for (i=0; i < osst_max_dev; ++i) os_scsi_tapes[i] = NULL;

This wants to be

os_scsi_tapes = kcalloc(osst_max_dev, sizeof(struct osst_tape *), GFP_ATOMIC);

Thank you for pointing that out.

I plan to resend those patches that don't get picked up in about a
week or so. I'll address this issue then (or if it does get picked up
in its current form I'll submit a follow-on patch to address this).

I just checked out the latest scsi-misc-2.6 tree and it does indeed
look like these have already been dealt with.
Sorry about the noise.
