Subject: [PATCH 2/2] [media] airspy: Improve a size determination in airspy_probe()
Date: Sun, 17 Sep 2017 11:20:28 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <27a527c5-8d41-f54d-6d1d-132f0b37acbb@users.sourceforge.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <d4c32723-ac16-7fad-0260-f8aef7105754@users.sourceforge.net>

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.
