Subject: [PATCH 2/4] HID: logitech-dj: Improve a size determination in four
 functions

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Mon, 5 Feb 2018 21:47:45 +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.
