Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/1 net-next] wireless: remove unnecessary sizeof(u8)
Hi Fabian,

I thought that sizeof(*variable) was preferred over sizeof(type), so
shouldn't these be switched to that format instead?
(I know that this is all no-op, but it should reduce the potential for
highly unlikely bugs in the future. Also, the extra processing is
compile-time not run-time.)
Thanks,
Julian Calaby
