[PATCH 1/2] pcmcia: Improve a size determination in three functions

From: Markus Elfring <elfring at users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Mon, 15 May 2017 15:13:00 +0200

Replace the specification of three 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.
