Please leave the (void *) cast out since explicit casts from a non-void
to a void pointer are not necessary in C.

Please introduce a union in struct utp_cmd_rsp instead of using casts
to reinterpret a part of a data structure.

The above comment looks very cryptic. Should it perhaps be expanded?

Since "__packed" is not necessary for the above data structure, please
remove it. Note: a typical approach in the Linux kernel to verify that
the compiler has not inserted any padding bytes is to add a BUILD_BUG_ON()
statement in an initialization function that verifies the size of ABI data
structures. See also the output of the following command:

git grep -nH 'BUILD_BUG_ON.sizeof.*!='

I think the above __packed statement should also be left out.

Thanks,

Bart.
