[PATCH 2/5] powerpc-pseries: Improve nine size determinations

SF Markus Elfring elfring at users.sourceforge.net
Thu Oct 19 06:23:12 AEDT 2017


From: Markus Elfring <elfring at users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Wed, 18 Oct 2017 18:18:11 +0200

Replace the specification of data structures by pointer dereferences
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.
