Author: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Adding casts of objects to the same type is unnecessary and confusing for a human reader. For example, this cast: int y; int *p = (int *)&y; I used the coccinelle script below to find and remove these unnecessary casts. I manually removed the conversions this script produces of casts with …

staging:iio: Streamline API function naming
Author: Lars-Peter Clausen <lars@metafoo.de> Currently we use two different naming schemes in the IIO API, iio_verb_object and iio_object_verb. E.g iio_device_register and iio_allocate_device. This patches renames instances of the later to the former. The patch also renames allocate to alloc as this seems to be the preferred form throughout the kernel. In particular the following renames …

dmaengine: Use dma_sg_len(sg) instead of sg->length
Author: Lars-Peter Clausen <lars@metafoo.de> sg->length may or may not contain the length of the dma region to transfer, depending on the architecture – dma_sg_len(sg) always will though. For the architectures which use the drivers modified by this patch it probably is the case that sg->length contains the dma transfer length. But to be consistent and …

dmaengine: Use sg_dma_address instead of sg_phys
Author: Lars-Peter Clausen <lars@metafoo.de> dmaengine drivers should always use sg_dma_address instead of sg_phys to get the addresses for the transfer from a sg element. To quote Russel King: sg_phys(sg) of course has nothing to do with DMA addresses. It’s the physical address _to the CPU_ of the memory associated with the scatterlist entry. That may, …
