Subject: [PATCH v3 3/3] dell-wmi: Clean up hotkey table size check
Date: Tue, 19 Jan 2016 11:07:26 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <d5bc1864a695ba892a2657f559261fc5ec25ee31.1453229127.git.luto@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1453229127.git.luto@kernel.org>
In-Reply-To: <cover.1453229127.git.luto@kernel.org>

Checking the table for a minimum size of 7 bytes makes no sense: any valid
hotkey table has a size that's a multiple of 4.

Clean this up: replace the hardcoded header length with a sizeof and
change the check to ignore an empty hotkey table.  The only behavior
change is that a 7-byte table (which is nonsensical) will now be
treated as absent instead of as valid but empty.
