Subject: [PATCH 5/9] drivers/net/wireless: Correct code taking the size of
 a pointer

From: Julia Lawall <julia@...u.dk>

sizeof(iv16) and sizeof(iv32) are the sizes of pointers.  Change them to
the size of the copied data.

A simplified version of the semantic patch that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@@
expression *x;
expression f;
type T;
@@

*f(...,(T)x,...)
// </smpl>
