(Yes, I have ath10k on freebsd working and I'd like to find a way to
reduce the diff moving forward.)

I don't like this "(void *) vif->drv_priv" style that much either but
apparently it's commonly used in Linux wireless code and already parts
of ath10k. So this patch just unifies the coding style.

Surely the code compiles to the same thing, so why add a patch that
makes it more difficult for Adrian and makes the code no easier to read
for the rest of us?

Thanks,
Ben
