Coccinelle: Script to detect cast after memory allocation
This script detects cases of use of cast for the value returned by kmalloc, kzalloc, kcalloc, kmem_cache_alloc, kmem_cache_zalloc, kmem_cache_alloc_node, kmalloc_node and kzalloc_node and removes the cast as it is not useful. This Coccinelle script replaces drop_kmalloc_cast.cocci as it removes the casting in more limited cases of kmalloc, kzalloc and kcalloc.
