2020-04-24coccinelle: check for casting malloc outputHeinrich Schuchardt
Casting the (void *) output of memory allocation functions before assignment like in sata->cmd_hdr_tbl_offset = (void *)malloc(length + align); is useless. Adopt the Linux kernel script scripts/coccinelle/api/alloc/alloc_cast.cocci. Now 'make coccicheck' generates warnings like: ./drivers/ata/fsl_sata.c:143:29-33: WARNING: casting value returned by memory allocation function to (void *) is useless.
