Currently, the logic to return an ath12k_sta pointer, given a ieee80211_sta pointer, uses typecasting throughout the driver. In general, conversion functions are preferable to typecasting since using a conversion function allows the compiler to validate the types of both the input and output parameters. ath12k already defines a conversion function ath12k_vif_to_arvif() for a similar conversion. So introduce ath12k_sta_to_arsta() for this use case, and convert all of the existing typecasting to use this function.

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.
