Subject: [media] cx24113: Improve a size determination in cx24113_attach()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Tue, 29 Aug 2017 22:17:25 +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.
