[PATCH 1/9] arch/mips/alchemy: Correct code taking the size of apointer

[Julia Lawall]

From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx>

sizeof(dp) is just the size of the pointer.  Change it to the size of the
referenced structure.

A simplified version of the semantic patch that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@@
expression *x;
expression f;
type T;
@@

*f(...,(T)x,...)
// </smpl>
