Subject: [PATCH 3/3] Input: bcm5974: Improve a size determination in bcm5974_probe()
Date: Wed, 24 Jan 2018 21:32:08 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <02af8e7d-b6f9-10f9-4f56-de657477bfd5@users.sourceforge.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <0505482c-287f-8809-76e3-960cf45b3c0a@users.sourceforge.net>

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.
This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
