[PATCH 3/3] wireless/libertas: don't cast a pointer to pointer oflist_head

From: Li Zefan
Date: Thu Dec 06 2007 - 05:00:30 EST



Don't cast struct foo * to struct list_head *, it's safe only when
the list member is the first member of struct foo.

Also don't cast struct list_head * to struct foo *.


BTW: I'm not so sure where this patch should go to.
