[PATCH 2/5] Coccinelle: put_device: Add a cast to an expression for an assignment

[Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Wed, 8 May 2019 13:50:49 +0200

Extend a when constraint in a SmPL rule so that an additional cast
is optionally excluded from source code searches for an expression
in assignments.
