Subject: [PATCH 2/3] Input: apbps2: Improve a size determination in
 apbps2_of_probe()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Wed, 24 Jan 2018 17:15:39 +0100

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.
