That is indeed true. Something that is also true is that "&node" is of type "struct acpi_iort_node **", and is a pointer to a pointer object. One of these facts is more relevant to this code than the other.

Found by ALT Linux Team (altlinux.org) and Linux Verification Center
(linuxtesting.org) using SVACE.

If your tool really thinks we should be copying 17 bytes out of an 8-byte object, please fix it before "verifying" any more code.

Thanks,
Robin.
