Removing (struct perf_pmu_event_symbol *) will cause compiler error as below.

util/parse-events.c:877:39: error: initialization discards âconstâ qualifier from pointer target type [-Werror]
struct perf_pmu_event_symbol *pmu1 = p1;

If we keep (struct perf_pmu_event_symbol *), we may not keep it on one line. The line will over 80 characters. There will be error from checkpatch.pl.

If so, the line will over 80 characters. There will be error from checkpatch.pl.
