[PATCH] xilinx_hwicap: Improve a size determination in hwicap_setup()

[SF Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring at users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Mon, 16 Oct 2017 22:10:32 +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.
