This started with a patch that enabled `clippy::ptr_as_ptr`. Benno Lossin suggested I also look into `clippy::ptr_cast_constness` and I discovered `clippy::as_ptr_cast_mut`. This series now enables all 3 lints. It also enables `clippy::as_underscore` which ensures other pointer casts weren't missed.
As a later addition, `clippy::cast_lossless` and `clippy::ref_as_ptr` are also enabled.
This series depends on "rust: retain pointer mut-ness in `container_of!`"[1].

Best regards,
In Rust 1.51.0, Clippy introduced the `ptr_as_ptr` lint [1]:
Though `as` casts between raw pointers are not terrible, `pointer::cast` is safer because it cannot accidentally change the pointer's mutability, nor cast the pointer to other types like `usize`.
There are a few classes of changes required: - Modules generated by bindgen are marked `#[allow(clippy::ptr_as_ptr)]`. - Inferred casts (` as _`) are replaced with `.cast()`. - Ascribed casts (` as *... T`) are replaced with `.cast::<T>()`. - Multistep casts from references (` as *const _ as *const T`) are replaced with `core::ptr::from_ref(&x).cast()` with or without `::<T>` according to the previous rules. The `core::ptr::from_ref` call is required because `(x as *const _).cast::<T>()` results in inference failure. - Native literal C strings are replaced with `c_str!().as_char_ptr()`. - `*mut *mut T as _` is replaced with `let *mut *const T = (*mut *mut T)`.cast();` since pointer to pointer can be confusing.
Apply these changes and enable the lint -- no functional change intended.

In Rust 1.72.0, Clippy introduced the `ptr_cast_constness` lint [1]:
Though `as` casts between raw pointers are not terrible, `pointer::cast_mut` and `pointer::cast_const` are safer because they cannot accidentally cast the pointer to another type.
There are only 2 affected sites: - `*mut T as *const U as *mut U` becomes `(*mut T).cast()` - `&self as *const Self as *mut Self` becomes `core::ptr::from_ref(self).cast_mut()`.
Apply these changes and enable the lint -- no functional change intended.

In Rust 1.66.0, Clippy introduced the `as_ptr_cast_mut` lint [1]:
Since `as_ptr` takes a `&self`, the pointer won’t have write permissions unless interior mutability is used, making it unlikely that having it as a mutable pointer is correct.
There is only one affected callsite, and the change amounts to replacing `as _` with `.cast_mut().cast()`. This doesn't change the semantics, but is more descriptive of what's going on.
Apply this change and enable the lint -- no functional change intended.

In Rust 1.63.0, Clippy introduced the `as_underscore` lint [1]:
The conversion might include lossy conversion or a dangerous cast that might go undetected due to the type being inferred.
The lint is allowed by default as using `_` is less wordy than always specifying the type.
Always specifying the type is especially helpful in function call contexts where the inferred type may change at a distance. Specifying the type also allows Clippy to spot more cases of `useless_conversion`.
The primary downside is the need to specify the type in trivial getters. There are 4 such functions: 3 have become slightly less ergonomic, 1 was revealed to be a `useless_conversion`.
While this doesn't eliminate unchecked `as` conversions, it makes such conversions easier to scrutinize. It also has the slight benefit of removing a degree of freedom on which to bikeshed. Thus apply the changes and enable the lint -- no functional change intended.

Before Rust 1.29.0, Clippy introduced the `cast_lossless` lint [1]:
Rust’s `as` keyword will perform many kinds of conversions, including silently lossy conversions. Conversion functions such as `i32::from` will only perform lossless conversions. Using the conversion functions prevents conversions from becoming silently lossy if the input types ever change, and makes it clear for people reading the code that the conversion is lossless.
While this doesn't eliminate unchecked `as` conversions, it makes such conversions easier to scrutinize. It also has the slight benefit of removing a degree of freedom on which to bikeshed. Thus apply the changes and enable the lint -- no functional change intended.

Rust’s `as` keyword will perform many kinds of conversions, including silently lossy conversions. Conversion functions such as `i32::from` will only perform lossless conversions.

In Rust 1.78.0, Clippy introduced the `ref_as_ptr` lint [1]:
Using `as` casts may result in silently changing mutability or type.
While this doesn't eliminate unchecked `as` conversions, it makes such conversions easier to scrutinize. It also has the slight benefit of removing a degree of freedom on which to bikeshed. Thus apply the changes and enable the lint -- no functional change intended.
