From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 8 Mar 2018 14:05:41 +0100 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. Signed-off-by: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- v2: Lee Jones requested a different source code layout for this transformation.
