Subject: [PATCH] staging: rtl8723bs: break long lines in rtw_sta_mgt.c
Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2026 10:42:28 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260319174229.62021-1-malavyaraval@gmail.com> (raw)

The original patch attempted to use the preferred sizeof(*ptr) style,
but since the target variable is a u8 pointer, this caused a buffer
overflow. Reverting to sizeof(struct sta_info) ensures the correct
allocation size while satisfying the line-splitting requirement.
