checkpatch: handle casts better fixing false categorisation of : as binary
 
The following incantation is triggering categorisation of its colon (:) as
a binary form, which it is not:

	return foo ? (s8)bar : baz;

Handle casts differently from types in the categoriser, allowing us to
better track (s8)bar as a value and not a declaration.

The output sysfs class driver provides an abstract video output layer that
can be used to hook platform specific methods to enable/disable video output
device through common sysfs interface. For example, on my IBM ThinkPad T42
laptop, The ACPI video driver registered its output devices and read/write
method for 'state' with output sysfs class. The user interface under sysfs is:

linux:/sys/class/video_output # tree .
