Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Input: arc_ps2: Improve a size determination in two functions
Date: Wed, 24 Jan 2018 18:40:24 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <38a03d93-7663-f3c3-9066-88cd935e3790@users.sourceforge.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <f3c837b2-7be1-11fe-ba2c-1792590125d2@users.sourceforge.net>

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Wed, 24 Jan 2018 18:30:45 +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.
