This change is fine, but the reason this wasn't noticed before is the cast in
the MEDIA_IOC_ARG define:

#define MEDIA_IOC_ARG(__cmd, func, fl, from_user, to_user)              \
        [_IOC_NR(MEDIA_IOC_##__cmd)] = {                                \
                .cmd = MEDIA_IOC_##__cmd,                               \
                .fn = (long (*)(struct media_device *, void *))func,    \
                .flags = fl,                                            \
                .arg_from_user = from_user,                             \
                .arg_to_user = to_user,                                 \
        }

When assigning to .fn the func is cast to a specific function prototype.
Without that cast the compiler would have warned about the mismatch.

I see no reason for that cast, so drop that cast as well.
