Subject: [PATCH] ELF, uapi: fixup ELF_ST_TYPE definition
Message-ID: <Ymv7G1BeX4kt3obz@localhost.localdomain>
MIME-Version: 1.0

This is very theoretical compile failure:

	ELF_ST_TYPE(st_info = A)

Cast will bind first and st_info will stop being lvalue:

	error: lvalue required as left operand of assignment

Given that the only use of this macro is

	ELF_ST_TYPE(sym->st_info)

where st_info is "unsigned char" I've decided to remove cast especially
given that companion macro ELF_ST_BIND doesn't use cast.
