Subject: [PATCH 2/2] misc/fsa9480: Improve a size determination in fsa9480_probe()
Date: Sun, 7 Jan 2018 22:30:12 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4f62f094-3b5c-7c13-8b9f-1d2da9b1baf4@users.sourceforge.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <afa46cf0-1a3a-e311-7fbd-d63a23785b16@users.sourceforge.net>
From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sun, 7 Jan 2018 22:20:19 +0100
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.
