sizeof(*drvdata) please.

Documentation/CodingStyle, Chapter 14:

The preferred form for passing a size of a struct is the following:

        p = kmalloc(sizeof(*p), ...);

The alternative form where struct name is spelled out hurts readability and
introduces an opportunity for a bug when the pointer variable type is changed
but the corresponding sizeof that is passed to a memory allocator is not.
