[PATCH 2/2] [media] ma901: Improve a size determination in usb_ma901radio_probe()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Replace the specification of a data structure by a pointer dereference
as the parameter for the operator "sizeof" to make the corresponding size
determination a bit safer according to the Linux coding style convention.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
