Subject: [PATCH 2/2] [media] ma901: Improve a size determination in usb_ma901radio_probe()
Date: Fri, 15 Sep 2017 22:42:49 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <a684cb0b-b478-b64e-e1d8-fe18a45d9885@users.sourceforge.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <6d4d9e92-9ac5-1e46-99ed-2b7d93bd7121@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.
