Subject: [PATCH 2/2] video: fbdev-MMP: Improve a size determination in path_init()
Date: Sun, 26 Nov 2017 21:43:52 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <293fb9cb-3020-bded-b1bd-67bbb2820aa2@users.sourceforge.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <e2c5fe9e-8e01-7fef-a243-ff5d063787b0@users.sourceforge.net>

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sun, 26 Nov 2017 21:21:33 +0100

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.
