Re: [PATCH 3/3] powernv/pci: Improve a size determination in pnv_pci_init_ioda_phb()

From: Markus Elfring <redacted>
Date: Tue, 17 Oct 2017 17:18:10 +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.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
