Subject: [PATCH 2/2] usbnet: Improve a size determination in
 usbnet_write_cmd_async()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Mon, 22 May 2017 06:42:33 +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.
