[PATCH 2/2] at76c50x-usb: Improve size determinations in at76_usbdfu_download()

From: SF Markus Elfring <hidden>
Date: 2017-12-30 21:08:34
Also in: kernel-janitors, linux-wireless, lkml
Subsystem: networking drivers (wireless), the rest · Maintainers: Johannes Berg, Linus Torvalds

From: Markus Elfring <redacted>

Replace the specification of two data types 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.
