From 9ef4090385a0c35192229ca77c9de273824040b4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Xenia Ragiadakou Date: Wed, 22 May 2013 18:41:21 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] gdm72xx: remove unnecessary cast in gdm_wimax.c This patch removes an unnecessary cast on the return value of alloc_netdev(), since alloc_netdev() returns a pointer to the allocated struct net_device anyway.
