Subject: eal/linux: eliminate cast of HPET thread signature
X-Git-Url: http://git.droids-corp.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4f06c51c7eb7f632c65e3a52985a5c6b6b362421;p=dpdk.git

eal/linux: eliminate cast of HPET thread signature

The cast of hpet_msb_inc is causing a warning in some compilations.
Yet the cast is unnecessary, the function is used only one place
just use the correct signature.
