Subject: [patch 2/3] Staging: sm7xx: preferred form for passing a size to
 memory allocation routines

From: anish kumar <anish198519851985@...il.com>

The preferred form for passing a size of a struct is the following:
p = kmalloc(sizeof(*p), ...);
Please refer Documentation/Codingstyle chapter 14
