I wonder why it didn't remove the first void cast?

[ The rest of the email is bonus comments for outreachy developers ].

And someone needs to check the final patch probably to remove the extra
parentheses around "(p + 2)".  Those were necessary when for the cast
but not required after the cast is gone.

It's sort of tricky to know what "one thing per patch means".

-       memset((void *)(&(pHTInfo->SelfHTCap)), 0,
+       memset((&(pHTInfo->SelfHTCap)), 0,
                sizeof(pHTInfo->SelfHTCap));

Here the parentheses were never related to the cast so we should leave
them as is.  In other words, in the first example, if we didn't remove
the cast that would be "half a thing per patch" and in the second
example that would be "two things in one patch".
