[PATCH 2/3] tty/serial/ucc_uart: Improve a size determination in ucc_uart_probe()

From: SF Markus Elfring <hidden>
Date: 2017-12-06 21:14:02
Also in: kernel-janitors, linux-serial, lkml
Subsystem: freescale quicc engine ucc uart driver, the rest, tty layer and serial drivers · Maintainers: Timur Tabi, Linus Torvalds, Greg Kroah-Hartman, Jiri Slaby

From: Markus Elfring <redacted>
Date: Wed, 6 Dec 2017 21:45:32 +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.
