Reading through the commit history, it looks like there is no special need why we must skip the first 4 bytes in this trace call: trace_ath10k_htt_rx_desc(ar, (void*)rx_desc + sizeof(u32), hw->rx_desc_ops->rx_desc_size - sizeof(u32)); found in the function ath10k_htt_rx_amsdu_pop in the file htt_rx.c i think the original author (who is also the one who added rx_desc tracing capabilities ina0883cf7e7) just wanted to trace the rx_desc contents, ignoring the fw_rx_desc_base info field (which is the part being skipped over). But the trace_ath10k_htt_rx_desc later added don't care about skipping it, so it may be good to uniform this call to the others in the file. But this would change the output of the trace and thus it may be a problem for tools that rely on it. Therefore I propose until further discussion to just keep it as it is and just fix the pointer arithmetic bug. Add missing void* cast to rx descriptor pointer in order to properly skip the initial 4 bytes of the rx descriptor when passing it to trace_ath10k_htt_rx_desc trace function. This fixes the pointer arithmetic error detected by Dan Carpenter's static analysis tool.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
