From 8136568bc167e9c76cef891812900187045d3183 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net> Date: Wed, 7 Feb 2018 19:47:49 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] parport: ax88796: Improve a size determination in parport_ax88796_probe() 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.
