Subject[PATCH 2/3] misc/ibmasm: Improve a size determination in ibmasm_init_one()
From
Date
From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Mon, 8 Jan 2018 13:43:20 +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.
