Subject: [PATCH] staging: r8188eu: simplify complex pointer casting
Date: Sun, 6 Nov 2022 13:56:01 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Y2dvmdGxQfmK4O6F@qemulion> (raw)
Pointers to structures udphdr and dhcpMessage are derived by casting
adjacent pointers with size_t. Such typecast of pointer using size_t
is not preferred. The code looks complex and delicate. Simplify such
casting by utilizing generic "void *" casting.
While at this change, remove the unnecessary __be32 casting for member
variable "cookie".
