Joe, thanks for reply. Actually I did it and receive this reply from Dmitry:

struct cytp_data *cytp;

- cytp = (struct cytp_data *)kzalloc(sizeof(struct cytp_data), GFP_KERNEL);
+ cytp = kzalloc(sizeof(struct cytp_data), GFP_KERNEL);

I already have a patch for this from Jingoo Han in my queue.

psmouse->private = (void *)cytp;

But this cast is also not needed, so if you could send me a patch for it
I'd appreciate that.
