Subject: [PATCH 4/7] rapidio: Improve a size determination in five functions

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Thu, 14 Dec 2017 16:24:51 +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.
