Subject: [PATCH] kfifo: remove unnecessary type check
From: Yuanhan Liu <yuanhan.liu@...ux.intel.com>
Firstly, this kind of type check doesn't work. It does something similay
like following:
void * __dummy = NULL;
__buf = __dummy;
__dummy is defined as void *. Thus it will not trigger warnings as
expected.
Second, we don't need that kind of check. Since the prototype
of __kfifo_out is:
unsigned int __kfifo_out(struct __kfifo *fifo, void *buf, unsigned int len)
buf is defined as void *, so we don't need do the type check. Remove it.
