unnecessary cast script finder

Hi.

I wrote a little script which searchs in driver/ (driver/net/ to be faster) for lines of this kind:
struct A *B = (struct A *)dev->priv;

As you know, a line like the previous one probably shall be rewritten like:
struct A *B = dev->priv;

To show you what you can get, I paste here some lines of the script's output:

drivers/net/bonding/bond_3ad.c
2479 struct bonding *bond = (struct bonding *)dev->priv;
drivers/net/bonding/bond_alb.c
397 struct bonding *bond = (struct bonding *)dev->priv;
drivers/net/smc9194.c
468 struct smc_local *lp = (struct smc_local *)dev->priv;
579 struct smc_local *lp = (struct smc_local *)dev->priv;
1139 struct smc_local *lp = (struct smc_local *)dev->priv;
1263 struct smc_local *lp = (struct smc_local *)dev->priv;
1390 struct smc_local *lp = (struct smc_local *)dev->priv;
1463 struct smc_local *lp = (struct smc_local *)dev->priv;

The script and its (purged) output are available here:

I have not yet wrote a script which creates the right patches and, despite I wish to write it, it is not safe to create and submit script-made patches without checks, so I wonder if someone would like to look at some part of the output of the script and create the proper patches. Waiting for a patch maker script/program, that's what I ask for.

Thanks.
