This is exactly right. There is a compiler warning if you don't include the 
cast, presumably because the parameter declaration includes "const". There's no 
type difference at all and the cast should really be doing anything but 
satisfying the compiler, as the variable in question, sourceData, is declared 
as a uint8_t *.
