	dma_zalloc_coherent() is no longer needed as it has no users because dma_alloc_coherent() already zeroes out memory for us. The Coccinelle grammar rule that used to check for dma_alloc_coherent() + memset() is modified so that it just tells the user that the memset is not needed anymore.

2018-01-16	Coccinelle: alloc_cast: Add more memory allocating functions to the list	Himanshu Jha
	Add more memory allocating functions that are frequently used in the kernel code to the existing list and remove the useless casts where it is unnecessary. But preserve those casts having __attribute__ such as __force, __iomem, etc. which are used by Sparse in the static analysis of the code. Also remove two blank lines at EOF.

2014-08-06	Coccinelle: Script to detect cast after memory allocation	Himangi Saraogi
	This script detects cases of use of cast for the value returned by kmalloc, kzalloc, kcalloc, kmem_cache_alloc, kmem_cache_zalloc, kmem_cache_alloc_node, kmalloc_node and kzalloc_node and removes the cast as it is not useful. This Coccinelle script replaces drop_kmalloc_cast.cocci as it removes the casting in more limited cases of kmalloc, kzalloc and kcalloc.
