[PATCH 12/36] tty/vt: consolemap: use sizeof(*pointer) instead of sizeof(type)

From: Jiri Slaby
Date: Tue Jun 07 2022 - 06:51:34 EST


It is preferred to use sizeof(*pointer) instead of sizeof(type). First,
the type of the variable can change and one needs not change the former
(unlike the latter). Second, the latter is error-prone due to (u16),
(u16 *), and (u16 **) mixture here.
