"data" is a void pointer and "args" is "data" after we have casted it to
a struct.  We care about the sizeof the struct here.  Btw, sizeof(*data)
is 1.

Did you find this by manual inspection or did you use some tool?

I found this because it caused a problem in a parser I was working
on but Sparse warns about "warning: expression using sizeof(void)".

It's sort of hard to run Sparse on nouveau because you can't build
the individual .o files.

$ kchecker --sparse drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/core/engine/disp/nv50.c

gcc's -Wpointer-arith option also reports this.
Never tried it on the kernel though .....
