Subject[PATCH v2] video: ssd1307fb: Improve a size determination in ssd1307fb_probe()
From
Date
From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sun, 7 Jan 2018 19:27:28 +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.

This update suggestion was rebased on source files from the software
"Linux next-20180105".
