Pointer variables of void * type do not require type cast.

Hi,

Please don't break reverse xmas tree ordering - longest line to shortest -
of local variable declarations in Networking code.

Hi,

This can't be reversed because it depends on the first declaration.
Should I change it like this?

-	struct sock *sk = (struct sock *)chan->private;
- 	struct pppox_sock *po = pppox_sk(sk);
+	struct pppox_sock *po = pppox_sk(chan->private);
  	struct net_device *dev = po->pppoe_dev;
+	struct sock *sk = chan->private;

But this seems to be bad. As the advice of Andrew[1] and Dan[2]:

"

When dealing with existing broken reverse Christmas tree, please don't
make it worse with a change. But actually fixing it should be in a
different patch.

We want patches to be obviously correct. By removing the cast and
moving variables around, it is less obvious it is correct, than having
two patches.

"

Thanks, I agree this is a good approach.

While there, you might want to also remove the useless casts in
net/l2tp/l2tp_ppp.c and net/atm/pppoatm.c.

Hi,

Thanks four your reminder! There are about 20 useless casts in net.
I will remove all of them.

I was specifically pointing at l2tp_ppp.c and pppoatm.c because they
convert the same kind of variable (chan->private) and cound be sqashed
into this commit.

But if you prefer to handle these separately, that's obviously fine too.
