[PATCH 2/2] gpio: omap: Improve a size determination in omap_gpio_probe()

From: SF Markus Elfring <hidden>
Date: 2018-02-10 21:08:38
Also in: kernel-janitors, linux-omap, lkml
Subsystem: gpio subsystem, omap gpio driver, the rest · Maintainers: Linus Walleij, Bartosz Golaszewski, Grygorii Strashko, Santosh Shilimkar, Kevin Hilman, Linus Torvalds

From: Markus Elfring <redacted>
Date: Sat, 10 Feb 2018 21:49:22 +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.
