[PATCH 2/3] video: au1100fb: Improve a size determination in au1100fb_drv_probe()

From: SF Markus Elfring <hidden>
Date: 2017-11-27 18:00:09
Also in: dri-devel, kernel-janitors, lkml
Subsystem: framebuffer layer, the rest · Maintainers: Helge Deller, Linus Torvalds

From: Markus Elfring <redacted>
Date: Mon, 27 Nov 2017 18:18:34 +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.
