Subject: [PATCH 4.4 66/74] i2c: brcmstb: allocate correct amount of memory for regmap

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Wolfram Sang <wsa@...-dreams.de>

commit 7314d22a2f5bd40468d57768be368c3d9b4bd726 upstream.

We want the size of the struct, not of a pointer to it. To be future
proof, just dereference the pointer to get the desired type.

Fixes: dd1aa2524bc5 ("i2c: brcmstb: Add Broadcom settop SoC i2c controller driver")
