[PATCH 2/2] clk-mux: Improve a size determination in clk_hw_register_mux_table()

Show all headers | View raw

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Tue, 26 Sep 2017 17:30:06 +0200

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.
