[PATCH 02/12] parport: ax88796: Improve a size determination in parport_ax88796_probe()

From: Sudip Mukherjee
Date: Wed Feb 07 2018 - 14:51:03 EST


From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

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.
