Subject: ATM-nicstar: Refactor a kmalloc() call in ns_init_card()
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=304f0a4edbbb2d273d7c6043df4126b623cd472c;p=linux-beck.git

ATM-nicstar: Refactor a kmalloc() call in ns_init_card()

* The script "checkpatch.pl" can point out that assignments should usually
  not be performed within condition checks.
  Thus move an assignment for a local variable to a separate statement
  in this function.

* 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.
