[PATCH 2/4] sgi-xpnet: Improve a size determination in xpnet_dev_hard_start_xmit()

[SF Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2018 10:48:25 +0100

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.
