[PATCH 10/17][trivial] staging, bcm: Remove unnecessary casts ofvoid ptr returning alloc function return values

[Jesper Juhl]

Hi,

The [vk][cmz]alloc(_node) family of functions return void pointers which
it's completely unnecessary/pointless to cast to other pointer types since
that happens implicitly.

This patch removes such casts from drivers/staging/bcm/
