Subject: [PATCH] staging: rtl8712: Fix style issues in rtl871x_io.c
Date: Tue, 27 Aug 2024 00:22:13 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240826185213.9445-2-masingh.linux@gmail.com> (raw)

This patch addresses style issues reported by checkpatch.pl in
drivers/staging/rtl8712/rtl871x_io.c:

1. Avoid Multiple Assignments: The original line had multiple
   assignments in a single statement. This is generally discouraged
   for clarity and maintainability. The code has been refactored to
   use separate statements for each assignment.

2. Prefer `sizeof(*pintf_hdl->pintfpriv)` Over
   `sizeof(struct intf_priv)`: Updated the memory allocation call to
   use `sizeof(*pintf_hdl->pintfpriv)` instead of
   `sizeof(struct intf_priv)`. This is considered better practice as it
   automatically adjusts if the type of `pintf_hdl->pintfpriv` changes,
   reducing the risk of mismatches and improving maintainability.

Changes made:
- Replaced the original line with two separate lines for allocation and
  assignment.
- Updated `kmalloc` to use `sizeof(*pintf_hdl->pintfpriv)` for the
  allocation size.

These changes improve code readability and maintain consistency with
coding standards.
