Subject: [PATCH][next] ALSA: sc6000: Fix incorrect sizeof operator

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

Static analysis is warning that the sizeof being used is should be
of *vport and not vport. Although these are the same size it is not
a portable assumption to assume this is true for all cases.  Fix this
by using sizeof(*vport).

Addresses-Coverity: ("Sizeof not portable")
