Subject: [PATCH 3/3] coresight: etb10: Improve a size determination in etb_alloc_buffer()
Date: Fri, 12 May 2017 20:53:16 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <b8ed57f7-cdcf-9b35-4fdd-8833db008ff0@users.sourceforge.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <5d5cd752-f2f2-b511-6b1e-daf5bf1bc522@users.sourceforge.net>
From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Fri, 12 May 2017 20:36:03 +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.
