[PATCH] platform/x86: think-lmi: Remove unnecessary casts for attributes

From: Thomas Weißschuh
Date: Wed Mar 29 2023 - 00:50:41 EST


These casts are unnecessary and could break if structure layouts are
randomized or implementation details change.
Use the proper syntax that works without casts.

Also remove some unnecessary braces that checkpatch complains about.
