[PATCH 1/2] alpha-module: Improve a size determination in module_frob_arch_sections()

From: SF Markus Elfring <hidden>
Date: 2017-05-11 11:54:53
Also in: kernel-janitors, lkml
Subsystem: alpha port, the rest · Maintainers: Richard Henderson, Matt Turner, Magnus Lindholm, Linus Torvalds

From: Markus Elfring <redacted>
Date: Thu, 11 May 2017 12:54:29 +0200

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.
