Subject: [PATCH 2/3] serial: ioc4: Improve four size determinations

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Fri, 8 Dec 2017 22:22:25 +0100

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

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
