[PATCH] ethernet: sis900: use sizeof(*pointer) instead of sizeof(type)

[Erick Archer]

It is preferred to use sizeof(*pointer) instead of sizeof(type)
due to the type of the variable can change and one needs not
change the former (unlike the latter).

At the same time remove some unnecessary initializations and
refactor a bit to make the code clearer.

This patch has no effect on runtime behavior.
