Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: usb-audio: scarlett2: Fix for loop increment in scarlett2_usb_get_config

Clang warns:

sound/usb/mixer_scarlett_gen2.c:1189:32: warning: expression result
unused [-Wunused-value]
                        for (i = 0; i < count; i++, (u16 *)buf++)
                                                    ^      ~~~~~
1 warning generated.

It appears the intention was to cast the void pointer to a u16 pointer
so that the data could be iterated through like an array of u16 values.
However, the cast happens after the increment because a cast is an
rvalue, whereas the post-increment operator only works on lvalues, so
the loop does not iterate as expected.

Replace the post-increment shorthand with the full expression so the
cast can be added in the right place and the look works as expected.
