Subject: [PATCH 2/4] ueagle-atm: Improve a size determination in uea_bind()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Fri, 19 May 2017 19:09:28 +0200

Replace the specification of a data structure 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.
