I understand that FFmpeg does not contain accommodations, but in my
opinion it is less of an accommodation and more for readability, avoiding
an implicit cast. An explicit void pointer cast, like the one presented in
my patch, is done elsewhere in FFmpeg code as well.
See https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/blob/master/libavutil/hwcontext_qsv.c#L316
What's the harm in including this one too?
