Seeing this cleanup reminds me that I think we ought to change
the chardev read & write functions to take "void *buf" instead.
as is done for regular libc  read/write functions. This would
avoid casts in the callers between char */uint8_t *

Something to think about for a future cleanup job....same applies
for the QIOChannel APIs which take a 'char *buf', annoyingly
different from the chardev APIs :-( Both ought to have void *buf
