Last three sentences are not correct.
Better commit message would be also more concise.

good to clear that, thanks

Your change makes code to use the correct type as sizeof() argument,
however, I would like to also make it the correct entity, so:
sizeof(*root->children) // == sizeof(root->children[0])
For the reference
562│ struct ice_sched_node {
...
565│ struct ice_sched_node **children;
