There shouldn't be a space after the cast. (This is one of those
unwritten rules). Leaving the space out reminds you that casting is a
high precedence operation.
Really we shouldn't be casting to (u8 *) anyway. When you see a lot of
casting like this on every single line then it means something is wrong.
If we pass anything besides a u32 then it ends up corrupting memory.
The (struct rtl_hal_ops)->set_desc() pointer should be updated to take
u32 pointers.
