Subject: [PATCH 6/7] aacraid: Improve determination of a few sizes

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sun, 21 Aug 2016 08:04:48 +0200

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