Excuse me, my English is not quite well, I am not quite sure about what
you said (might misunderstand what you said), so I provide the related
information below for confirmation, please check, thanks.

sizeof(clk) is for a pointer, not for an array (for C language, it
treats array parameter as a pointer), the related demo is below:

  [root@...alhost test]# cat ./test.c
  #include <stdio.h>

  static inline void get_tod_clock_ext(char clk[16])
  {
  	typedef struct { char _[sizeof(clk)]; } addrtype;

  	printf("\nsize: %ld\n", sizeof(addrtype));
  }

  int main()
  {
  	char clk[16];

  	get_tod_clock_ext(clk);
  	return 0;
  }
  [root@...alhost test]# cc -Wall -O2 -o test test.c
  [root@...alhost test]# ./test 

  size: 8
  [root@...alhost test]# cc -v
  Using built-in specs.
