Clang warns:

sound/usb/mixer_scarlett_gen2.c:1189:32: warning: expression result
unused [-Wunused-value]
                        for (i = 0; i < count; i++, (u16 *)buf++)
                                                    ^      ~~~~~
1 warning generated.

It appears the intention was to cast the void pointer to a u16 pointer
so that the data could be iterated through like an array of u16 values.
However, the cast happens after the increment because a cast is an
rvalue, whereas the post-increment operator only works on lvalues, so
the loop does not iterate as expected.

Replace the cast with a temporary variable of the proper type, which is
less error prone and fixes the iteration. Do the same thing for the
'u8 *' below this if block.

v1 -> v2:

* Use temporary variables of proper type rather than casting, as
  requested by Takashi.

* Mention that there is not a bug at the moment per Geoffrey's comment.

v2 -> v3:

* Restrict scope of buf_16 more, as requested by Geoffrey.

* Add Geoffrey's ack.
