[PATCH staging] dgnc: remove useless cast on kzalloc()

[Fengguang Wu]

drivers/staging/dgnc/dgnc_driver.c:510:3-7: WARNING: casting value returned by k[cmz]alloc to (char *) is useless.
drivers/staging/dgnc/dgnc_driver.c:502:2-19: WARNING: casting value returned by k[cmz]alloc to (struct dgnc_board *) is useless.

 Casting (void *) value returned by kmalloc is useless
 as mentioned in Documentation/CodingStyle, Chap 14.
