Subject: [PATCH 2/2] gpio: timberdale: Improve a size determination in timbgpio_probe()
Date: Sat, 10 Feb 2018 21:33:50 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <df13123f-5c90-03e0-edb6-0ab9751b7aa2@users.sourceforge.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <da77f86c-a366-0a0f-10fd-9b7cfd879391@users.sourceforge.net>

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sat, 10 Feb 2018 21:13:28 +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.
