Subject: [PATCH 2/2] powerpc-ps3: Improve a size determination in two functions
Date: Tue, 17 Oct 2017 20:56:53 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <caf62593-9a36-e73c-2224-9f61338f694d@users.sourceforge.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <36a8ba41-7f1e-31f8-5d32-19e04393b181@users.sourceforge.net>
From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Tue, 17 Oct 2017 20:15:17 +0200
Replace the specification of 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.
This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
