[PATCH 2/2] macintosh/rack-meter: Improve a size determination in rackmeter_probe()

[SF Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring at users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Tue, 16 Jan 2018 21:26:52 +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.
