You seem to have removed a lot of casts that don't relate to these cleanups.

In particular, some of the casts seem to relate more to documentation
rather than just changing pointer types to make the compiler happy. In
particular, I'm referring to the casts describing the different usages
of data_buf in mwiflex, and around some pointer math in ath9k.

Whilst I'm sure that the compiler is smart enough to handle automatic
casts between pointer types, some of these, in particular the mwiflex
bits, add some documentation to the code.

Thanks,
