From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 7 Oct 2017 19:19:45 +0200 Replace the specification of data structures by pointer dereferences 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.
