[PATCH] procfs: Drop cast

From: Himangi Saraogi
Date: Sat Jun 28 2014 - 09:35:27 EST


This patch does away with cast on void * and the if as it is unnecessary.

The following Coccinelle semantic patch was used for making the change:

@r@
expression x;
void* e;
type T;
identifier f;
@@

(
*((T *)e)
|
((T *)x)[...]
|
((T *)x)->f
|
- (T *)
e
)
