[PATCH 14/18] HID-debug: Adjust two function calls together with a variable assignment

From: SF Markus Elfring
Date: Tue Feb 07 2017 - 15:04:21 EST

* The script "checkpatch.pl" pointed information out like the following.

ERROR: do not use assignment in if condition

Thus fix the affected source code places.

* Replace the specification of a data structure by a pointer dereference
to make the corresponding size determination a bit safer according to
the Linux coding style convention.
