[PATCH 2/2] at76c50x-usb: Improve size determinations in at76_usbdfu_download()

Replace the specification of two data types 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.
