Subject: [PATCH 2/3] soc-knav_dma: Improve a size determination in knav_dma_probe()
Date: Mon, 1 May 2017 21:28:52 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <0cdbac2f-115c-a2f2-e44f-ab160fb76d29@users.sourceforge.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <eddc35f7-a04b-42f5-ad8b-d345ca0b57b4@users.sourceforge.net>
From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Mon, 1 May 2017 21:06:46 +0200
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.
