[PATCH 2/6] [media] tda8261: Improve a size determination in tda8261_attach()

[SF Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Tue, 26 Sep 2017 12:06:19 +0200

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

  ERROR: do not use assignment in if condition

  Thus fix an affected source code place.

* 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.
