[PATCH v1 3/7] staging: gpib: Removing gpib_event_t typedef

From: Michael Rubin
Date: Tue Apr 08 2025 - 19:26:07 EST


Removing gpib_event_t to adhere to Linux code style.

Reported by checkpatch.pl

In general, a pointer, or a struct that has elements that can reasonably be
directly accessed should never be a typedef.
