This fixes -Wcast-align warnings caused by the underaligned struct ip.
This also silences them in the public functions by changing the function
signature from char * to void *. This is source and binary compatible and
avoids the -Wcast-align warning.

| 1215 | The problem here is that struct ip is declared as packed, so taking a pointer to one of the uint32 members can break on architectures that don't allow unaligned stores. This was introduced in 8018ac153f7671699ca008f31c0fad9caef2f531 and causes architectures such as RISC-V to always use two 16-bit loads+shifts to read struct in_addr. | |

If you tested the change and it works for you, I have no objection.

| 1260 | I think we usually don't use such syntax with tabs. | |

| 1260 | Good point. I'm touching the line anyway so I might as well fix style issues at the same time. | |
