[PATCH 2/3] serial: ioc3: Improve size determinations in ioc3uart_probe()

From: SF Markus Elfring <hidden>
Date: 2017-12-09 18:05:56
Also in: kernel-janitors, lkml
Subsystem: the rest, tty layer and serial drivers · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Greg Kroah-Hartman, Jiri Slaby

From: Markus Elfring <redacted>
Date: Sat, 9 Dec 2017 18:38:13 +0100

Replace the specification of two data structures 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.
