Subject: [PATCH 08/26] IB/ocrdma: Improve size determinations in
 ocrdma_mbx_rdma_stats()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Tue, 7 Mar 2017 20:16:16 +0100

Replace the specification of two data structures by pointer dereferences
as the parameter for the operator "sizeof" to make the corresponding size
determinations a bit safer according to the Linux coding style convention.
