Subject: [PATCH 9/9] sound/soc/codecs: Correct code taking the size of a
 pointer

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

sizeof(codec->reg_cache) is just the size of the pointer.  Elsewhere in the
file, codec->reg_cache is used with sizeof(wm8900_reg_defaults), so the
code is changed to do the same here.

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>
