From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 24 Oct 2017 20:52:19 +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. * Return directly after a call of the function "kzalloc" failed at the beginning of the function "hidraw_open". * Delete the jump target "out" which became unnecessary with this refactoring.
