  [PATCH -next] staging: rts5208: rtsx.c: Fix invalid use of sizeof in rtsx_probe() Wei Yongjun <weiyj.lk@gmail.com> - 2016-10-18 01:40 +0200

#1502585 — [PATCH -next] staging: rts5208: rtsx.c: Fix invalid use of sizeof in rtsx_probe()

From: Wei Yongjun <weiyongjun1@huawei.com>

sizeof() when applied to a pointer typed expression gives the
size of the pointer, not that of the pointed data.
