Subject: [PATCH 2/3] ASoC: cs42l73: Improve two size determinations in
 cs42l73_i2c_probe()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>

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.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
