Subject: [PATCH 3/3] mtd/ftl: Improve another size determination in
 ftl_add_mtd()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Thu, 12 Jan 2017 11:18:59 +0100

Replace the specification of a data type by a pointer dereference
as the parameter for the operator "sizeof" to make the corresponding size
determination a bit safer according to the Linux coding style convention.
