Subject: [PATCH 2/3] net: sched: cls_fw: Improve two size determinations in
 fw_change()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Wed, 8 Nov 2017 19:19:10 +0100

Replace the specification of 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.
