Subject: [PATCH 1/3] ARM: dmabounce: Improve a size determination in two functions
Date: Thu, 1 Jun 2017 17:59:55 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <d78ce917-3920-7858-b866-48a61b1c8fc3@users.sourceforge.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <697e7810-d280-08f3-2a24-026ff41e15a3@users.sourceforge.net>
From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Thu, 1 Jun 2017 17:00:17 +0200
Replace the specification of two data structures by pointer dereferences
as the parameter for the operator "sizeof" to make the corresponding size
determination a bit safer according to the Linux coding style convention.
