Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Input: gamecon: Improve a size determination in gc_attach()
Date: Sat, 27 Jan 2018 17:15:21 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <423af7ee-401a-5e6a-b7f1-fb9b223a2b75@users.sourceforge.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <e02726e3-2ee7-e690-a8ea-90a55f8fd0c2@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.
