Subject: [PATCH 1/5] ARM: OMAP1: DMA: Improve a size determination in
 omap1_system_dma_init()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Thu, 1 Jun 2017 21:48:11 +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.
