From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 30 Aug 2017 21:49:22 +0200 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.
