Repro Code

async function f(thing: any) {
  await (thing as Promise<void>);
}

ESLint Config

module.exports = {
	"extends": [
		"plugin:@typescript-eslint/eslint-recommended",
		"plugin:@typescript-eslint/all"
  ],
  "rules": {
    "@typescript-eslint/no-misused-promises": [
      "error",
      {
        "checksVoidReturn": false
      }
    ],
    "@typescript-eslint/no-extra-parens": [
      "error"
    ]
 }
}

tsconfig

No response

Expected Result

No error as these are necessary parentheses in order to ensure the assertion is applied to the await argument, not the await result.

Actual Result

Unnecessary parentheses around expression. 2:9 - 2:10

Additional Info

A big problem that I can see is that this rule uses our old-school hack-and-extend method for extending the lint rule.
Instead we should fork the lint rule and leverage our relatively new precedence utilities in order to correctly understand all cases.
