[PATCH 1/3] ARM: dmabounce: Improve a size determination in two functions

From: Markus Elfring <elfring at users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Thu, 1 Jun 2017 17:00:17 +0200

Replace the specification of two data structures by pointer dereferences
as the parameter for the operator "sizeof" to make the corresponding size
determination a bit safer according to the Linux coding style convention.
