[PATCH 3/3] mtd/ftl: Improve another size determination in ftl_add_mtd()

Show all headers | View raw

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Thu, 12 Jan 2017 11:18:59 +0100

Replace the specification of a data type 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.
